Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Encouraging the Visiting of the Sick, Its Emphasis, and Encouraging the Supplication for the Sick. It was said: From Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The rights of a Muslim on the Muslims are five: to respond to the salaam, visiting the sick, to follow the funeral processions, to accept an invitation, and to reply to those who sneeze. حقُّ المسلم على المسلم خمس : ردُّ السلام ، وعيادة المريض ، واتباع الجنائز ، وإجابة الدعوة ، وتشميت العاطس
Sahih al-Bukhari 1240
, narrated by al-Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah. In a narration by Muslim:
Six are the rights of a Muslim over another Muslim حقُّ المسلم على المسلم ستٌّ
Sahih Muslim 2162b
. It was asked: What are they, O Messenger of Allah? He said:
When you meet him salute him ; when he issues an invitation to you, accept it; when he asks your advice give it to him ; when he sneezes and praises God say, ‘God have mercy on you’; when he is ill visit him ; and when he dies follow him to the grave. إذا لقيتَه فسلِّم عليه ، وإذا دعاك فأجِبْه ، وإذا استنصحك فانصَحْ له ، وإذا عطس فحمد الله فشمِّته ، وإذا مرض فعُدْه ، وإذا مات فاتَّبعه
Mishkat al-Masabih 1525
, narrated by al-Tirmidhi and al-Nasa'i in similar terms.
This hadith, as seen from its tracing, is among the authentic hadiths regarding these matters, and we will speak about them, if Allah wills, in a manner befitting the occasion in the next lesson.
And this is sufficient, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
