HADITH
عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ الأشجعيِّ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: “الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ لَا يَظْلِمُهُ وَلَا يُسْلِمُهُ، وَمَن كَانَ فِي
حَاجَةِ أَخِيهِ كَانَ اللَّهُ فِي حَاجَتِهِ، وَمَنْ فَرَّجَ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ كُرْبَةً فَرَّجَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرُبَاتِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَمَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ”
Abu Malik Al-Harith bin Asim Al-Ashja’i (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “The Muslim is a brother to another Muslim. He does not wrong him, nor does he forsake him. And whoever is fulfilling the needs of his brother, Allah is fulfilling his needs. And whoever relieves a Muslim from a hardship, Allah will relieve him from the hardships of the Day of Resurrection. And whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults on the Day of Resurrection.”Source: Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
This Hadith emphasizes the importance of unity, mutual support, and compassion within the Muslim community. It highlights the concept of brotherhood and the interconnectedness of believers, encouraging them to uphold one another’s rights, help those in need, and treat each other with kindness and respect.
