Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Thamer from al-Dawadimi says: Honorable Shaykh Salih, what are the effects of division, disagreement, and discord within the Muslim community?

Answer:

A believer to another believer is like a building whose different parts enforce each other." The Prophet (ﷺ) then clasped his hands with the fingers interlacedالمؤمن للمؤمن كالبنيان يشد بعضه بعضا وشبك بين أصابعه
Sahih al-Bukhari 2446
(peace and blessings be upon him)
and the Muslim for the Muslim is like one body, ifوالمسلم للمسلم كالجسد الواحد إذا
for example, the Muslim for the Muslim
like a building they support one anotherكالبنيان يشد بعضه بعضا
Sunan an-Nasa'i 2560Sahih (Darussalam)
, and the Muslim with the Muslim is like one body,
when any limb of it aches, the whole body aches, because of sleeplessness and fever.إذا اشتكى منه عضو تداعى له سائر الجسد بالسهر والحمى
Sahih Muslim 2586a
, so the Muslim feels pain for the pain of his Muslim brothers, cooperates with them, alleviates their afflictions, feels pain for their pains, and is pleased with their joy; this is how the Muslim is with the Muslim. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
