268 – Chapter: The Prohibition of Causing Harm

Allah the Exalted says: “As for those who abuse believing men and believing women for something they have not done, they will bear the burden of slander and an obvious sin.” (Q 33:58)

1573 – ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ (may Allah be pleased with them both) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “A Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand other Muslims remain safe, and the emigrant (muhājir) is he who abandons whatever Allah has forbidden.” Agreed upon.

1574 – He also reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whoever would love to be kept (1) away from the Fire and admitted into Paradise, let death reach him while he believes in Allah and the Last Day, and let him treat people in the manner he would love to be treated by them.” Reported by Muslim. This is part of a longer ḥadīth cited earlier in the chapter on obedience to the rulers.

269 – Chapter: The Prohibition of Mutual Hatred, Severing Ties, and Turning One’s Back on One Another

Allah the Exalted says: “Indeed, the believers are but brothers.” (Q 49:10)
And He says: “Humble toward the believers, mighty against the disbelievers.” (Q 5:54)
And He says: “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are stern against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves.” (Q 48:29)

1575 – Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Do not hate one another, do not envy one another, do not turn your backs on one another, do not cut one another off; rather, be—O servants of Allah—brothers. And it is not lawful for a Muslim …”

(1) The phrase means “is kept at a distance,” while al-maniyya refers to death. In other words, one should persevere in faith and all that accompanies it until death overtakes him in that state—just as the Quran commands, “And do not die except in a state of Islam” (3:102). This hadith was cited earlier under no. 673.

٢٦٨ - باب النهي عن الإيذاء قال الله تعالى : ﴿وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِغَيْرِ مَا اكْتَسَبُوا ، فَقَدِ احْتَمَلُوا بُهْتَانًا وَإِثْمًا مُّبِينًا﴾ [سورة الأحزاب الآية : ٥٨] . ١٥٧٣ - وعن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنهما قال : قال رسول الله ﷺ : « الْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ ، وَالْمُهَاجِرُ مَنْ هَجَرَ مَا نَهَى اللَّهُ عَنْهُ » متفق عليه . ١٥٧٤ - وعنه قال : قال رسول الله ﷺ : « مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُزَحْزَحَ (١) عَنِ النَّارِ ، وَيُدْخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ، فَلْتَأْتِهِ مَنِيَّتُهُ وَهُوَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ، وَلْيَأْتِ إِلَى النَّاسِ الَّذِي يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُؤْتَى إِلَيْهِ » رواه مسلم . وهو بعض حديث طويل سبق في باب طاعة ولاة الأمور . ٢٦٩ - باب النهي عن التباغض والتقاطع والتدابر قال الله تعالى : ﴿إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ﴾ [سورة الحجرات الآية : ١٠] وقال تعالى : ﴿أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ﴾ [سورة المائدة الآية : ٥٤] . وقال تعالى : ﴿مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ أَشِدَّاءُ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ ، رُحَمَاءُ بَيْنَهُمْ﴾ [سورة الفتح الآية : ٢٩] . ١٥٧٥ - وعن أنس رضي الله عنه ، أن النبي ﷺ قال : « لَا تَبَاغَضُوا ، وَلَا تَحَاسَدُوا ، وَلَا تَدَابَرُوا ، وَلَا تَقَاطَعُوا ، وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِخْوَانًا ، وَلَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ »

(١) أي : يبعد . و(المنية) : الموت . والمعنى : ليدم على الإيمان وما معه حتى يأتيه الموت وهو على ذلك ، وهذا كقوله تعالى : ﴿وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ﴾ . والحديث تقدم برقم ٦٧٣ .
