Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “A Muslim has six rights over another Muslim.” It was asked: “O Messenger of Allah, what are they?” He ﷺ said: “When you meet him, greet him with salam; when he invites you, accept his invitation; when he asks you for advice, advise him; when he sneezes and says ‘Alhamdulillah’, respond to him; when he falls ill, visit him; and when he dies, attend his funeral.”

✿ «عن عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنهما اخبره، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال:” المسلم اخو المسلم لا يظلمه ولا يسلمه، ومن كان فى حاجة اخيه كان الله فى حاجته، ومن فرج عن مسلم كربة فرج الله عنه كربة من كربات يوم القيامة، ومن ستر مسلما ستره الله يوم القيامة.»

Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim: he does not wrong him and does not hand him over to an enemy. Whoever is busy fulfilling his brother’s need, Allah is busy fulfilling his need. Whoever relieves a Muslim of a distress, Allah will relieve him of one of the distresses of the Day of Resurrection. And whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults on the Day of Resurrection.”

✿ «عن ابي هريرة، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ” لا تحاسدوا، ولا تناجشوا، ولا تباغضوا، ولا تدابروا، ولا يبع بعضكم على بيع بعض، وكونوا عباد الله إخوانا المسلم اخو المسلم لا يظلمه، ولا يخذله، ولا يحقره التقوى هاهنا، ويشير إلى صدره ثلاث مرات، بحسب امرئ من الشر ان يحقر اخاه المسلم كل المسلم على المسلم، حرام دمه، وماله، وعرضه “. وزاد فى رواية : ان الله لا ينظر الي اجسادكم، ولا الي صوركم، ولكن ينظر الي قلوبكم واشار باصابعه الي صدره.»

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Do not envy one another, do not deceive one another, do not harbour hatred for one another, do not turn away from one another, and do not sell over the sale of another. Be servants of Allah and brothers. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim: he does not wrong him, does not abandon him, and does not despise him. Taqwa is here,” and he pointed to his chest three times. “It is enough evil for a person to despise his Muslim brother. Every Muslim’s blood, property, and honour are forbidden to another Muslim.”
In another narration, the following addition is made: “Indeed Allah does not look at your bodies, nor at your forms, but He looks at your hearts,” and he pointed with his fingers to his chest.

✿ «عن شيخ من بني سليط قال: النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم أكملة فى سببي أصيب لنا فى الجاهلية فإذا هو قاعد وعليه خلقة قد أطافت به وهو يحدث القوم عليه إزار قطر له غليظ قال سمعته يقول وهو يشير بابباصبعه المسلم اخو المسلم لا يظلمه ولا يخذ له التقوى هاهنا التقوى هاهنا يقول أى فى القلب.»

A man from the tribe of Banu Salit narrated: I came to the Prophet ﷺ to speak about some captives who had fallen into our hands in the days of Jahiliyyah. The Prophet ﷺ was sitting, and a circle of people surrounded him as he spoke to them. He wore a single Qatari cloak, whose edge was thick and rough. The narrator said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, pointing with his finger: “A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim: he does not wrong him and does not abandon him. Taqwa is here, taqwa is here,” the Prophet ﷺ said, meaning the heart.
