Hadith Nineteen
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.
