Hadith 2669
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق، عَنْ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "لِلْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ سِتٌّ: يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا لَقِيَهُ وَيُشَمِّتُهُ إِذَا عَطَسَ، وَيَعُودُهُ إِذَا مَرِضَ، وَيُجِيبُهُ إِذَا دَعَاهُ، وَيَشْهَدُهُ إِذَا تُوُفِّيَ، وَيُحِبُّ لَهُ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَيَنْصَحُ لَهُ بِالْغَيْبِ".
Amir al-Mu’minin Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “A Muslim has six rights over another Muslim: When he meets him, he should greet him with salam; when he sneezes, he should respond to him (i.e., when the one who sneezes says ‘Alhamdulillah’, he should reply with ‘Yarhamuk Allah’); if he falls ill, he should visit him; if he invites him, he should accept his invitation; if he dies, he should attend (his funeral, including preparation, shrouding, and burial). He should like for his Muslim brother what he likes for himself and wish well for him in his absence.”
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2668)
Greeting with salam, responding to one who says "alhamdulillah" after sneezing, visiting the sick, accepting invitations, participating in funeral processions, liking for others what one likes for oneself, and doing good to someone behind his back—these are all aspects of good character and righteous deeds, upon which everyone should act.
In today's era, doing good behind someone's back is very rarely seen.
Most Muslims engage in backbiting and fault-finding against one another, which is a very grave sin.
May Allah grant everyone guidance, ameen.
