أبي هريرة - رضي الله عنه- قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: (حق المسلم على
المسلم ست: إذا لقيته فسلم عليه، وإذا دعاك فأجبه، وإذا استنصحك فانصح له، وإذا

Tafsir Hadith
This hadith lists the rights of a Muslim over other Muslims. What is meant by right here is something that does not deserve to be abandoned and the law varies, it may be mandatory or sunnah muakkad which is almost equivalent to mandatory law. The use of the word rights here contains two meanings or includes the mustarik chapter in two meanings. Because the word right is used for the meaning of mandatory. Thus mentioned by Ibn 'Arabi.
Important Things from Hadith
Islam is a religion of brotherhood and love. This religion always encourages and motivates its people to maintain both. For this reason, he also prescribes several things that will be the cause of the realization of this love.
Among these reasons, the most important is carrying out social obligations among Muslims, whether it be in the form of spreading greetings, fulfilling invitations, giving advice, praying for someone who sneezes, visiting a sick person and delivering a corpse.
This noble hadith clearly describes these obligations and we will describe them one by one, God willing.
