Hadith 23213

حَدَّثَنَا أَبو النَّضْرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبارَكُ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ ، أَنَّ شَيْخًا مِنْ بنِي سَلِيطٍ أَخْبرَهُ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُكَلِّمُهُ فِي شَيْءٍ أُصِيب لَنَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ قَاعِدٌ ، وَعَلَيْهِ حَلْقَةٌ قَدْ أَطَافَتْ بهِ ، وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ الْقَوْمَ ، عَلَيْهِ إِزَارُ قُطْنٍ لَهُ غَلِيظٌ ، فَأَوَّلُ شَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ يُشِيرُ بإِصْبعَيْهِ : " الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ ، لَا يَظْلِمُهُ وَلَا يَخْذُلُهُ ، التَّقْوَى هَاهُنَا ، التَّقْوَى هَاهُنَا " ، يَقُولُ : أَيْ فِي الْقَلْب.
It is narrated from a Sheikh of Banu Sulayt that once I presented myself before the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to discuss those of my captives who had been captured during the time of ignorance. At that time, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was seated and people had formed a circle around him. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was wearing a thick lower garment. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was gesturing with his fingers. I heard the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim; he neither oppresses him nor leaves him helpless. Taqwa is here, Taqwa is here, that is, in the heart.
