    What Was Conveyed About the Rights of Muslims Over One Another


    It is narrated from Abu Hurayra (ra) that he said
    Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: "The rights of a
    Muslim over a Muslim are six."He was asked: "And what
    are they, O Messenger of Allah?"He replied:

    "[1.] When you meet a Muslim, greet him [with
    al-salāmu `alaykum].

    [2.] When he invites you, respond to his invitation.

    [3.] When he seeks your faithful advice advise him
    faithfully.

    [4.] When he sneezes and glorifies Allah [by saying
    al-hamdu lillāh] invoke Allah's mercy upon him.

    [5.] When he falls sick visit him.

    [6.] When he dies follow his funeral."

    It was narrated by Muslim, while al-Bukhari narrates
    only five items.
