Fiqh al-Adiyah wa-al-Adhkar - Abd al-Razzaq ibn Abd al-Muhsin al-Badr - (2/227)

In Sahih Muslim, al-Numān ibn Bashīr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The Muslims are like a single person: if his eye suffers, his whole body suffers; and if his head suffers, his whole body suffers.”1

It is also authentically reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith of Abū Mūsā al-Asharī (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “A believer is to another believer like a building, each part supporting the others.”2

Al-Tabarānī narrated that Abū Mūsā al-Asharī (may Allah be pleased with him) heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “You will not truly believe until you show mercy to one another.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, all of us are merciful.” He replied: “It does not mean merely the mercy one of you shows to his companion, but mercy toward all people—mercy that encompasses everyone.”3

There are many hadiths conveying this meaning. A Muslim should therefore observe the rights of his fellow Muslims, desire good for them, treat them with mercy and compassion, and pray that they be granted success, sound judgment, goodness, prosperity, righteousness, and steadfastness.

1. *Sahīh Muslim* (no. 4/2000). 2. *Sahīh al-Bukhārī* (no. 6026) and *Sahīh Muslim* (no. 2585). 3. Related by al-Tabarānī, as cited in *Majma al-Zawāid* (8/186). Al-Haythamī said, “Its narrators are narrators of the Sahīh.” It was also related by al-Hākim in *al-Mustadrak* (4/185), who said, “Its chain of transmission is authentic.” Al-Hāfiz Ibn Hajar said in *Fath al-Bārī* (10/438), “Its narrators are trustworthy.” The hadith is also corroborated by a report from Anas, related by Abū Yalā in his *Musnad* (7/251).

وفي صحيح مسلم عن النعمان بن بشير ﵁ قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: " المسلمون كرجل واحد، إن اشتكى عينُه اشتكى كلُّه، وإن اشتكى رأسُه اشتكى كلُّه "١. وثبت عن النبيِّ ﷺ من حديث أبي موسى الأشعريِّ ﵁ قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: " المؤمن للمؤمن كالبنيان يشُدُّ بعضُه بعضاً "٢. وروى الطبراني عن أبي موسى الأشعريِّ ﵁ أنَّه سمع النبيَّ ﷺ يقول: " لن تؤمنوا حتى تراحموا، قالوا: يا رسول الله كلُّنا رحيم، قال: إنَّه ليس برحمة أحدكم صاحبه، ولكنَّها رحمةُ الناس رحمةُ العامة "٣. والأحاديث في هذا المعنى كثيرة، فينبغي على المسلم أن يكون مراعياً لحقوق إخوانه المسلمين، مُحبًّا الخيرَ لهم، رحيماً بهم، عَطوفاً عليهم، داعياً لهم بالتوفيق والسداد، والخير والفلاح، والصلاح والاستقامة.
