bukhari:2445Saʿīd b. al-Rabīʿ > Shuʿbah > al-Ashʿath b. Sulaym > Muʿāwiyah b. Sūwayd > al-Barāʾ b. ʿĀzib

I heard Al-Bara' bin ʿAzib saying, "The Prophet ﷺ orders us to do seven things and prohibited us from doing seven other things." Then Al-Bara' mentioned the following:-- (1) To pay a visit to the sick (inquiring about his health), (2) to follow funeral processions, (3) to say to a sneezer, "May Allah be merciful to you" (if he says, "Praise be to Allah!"), (4) to return greetings, (5) to help the oppressed, (6) to accept invitations, (7) to help others to fulfill their oaths. (See Hadith No. 753, Vol. 7)

البخاري:٢٤٤٥حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الأَشْعَثِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ سُوَيْدٍ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ ؓ قَالَ

أَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِسَبْعٍ وَنَهَانَا عَنْ سَبْعٍ فَذَكَرَ عِيَادَةَ الْمَرِيضِ وَاتِّبَاعَ الْجَنَائِزِ وَتَشْمِيتَ الْعَاطِسِ وَرَدَّ السَّلاَمِ وَنَصْرَ الْمَظْلُومِ وَإِجَابَةَ الدَّاعِي وَإِبْرَارَ الْمُقْسِمِ

True believers are a firm support for one another

bukhari:2446Muḥammad b. al-ʿAlāʾ > Abū Usāmah > Burayd > Abū Burdah > Abū Mūsá

The Prophet ﷺ said, "A believer to another believer is like a building whose different parts enforce each other." while he ﷺ was clasping his hands with the fingers interlaced.

البخاري:٢٤٤٦حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «الْمُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ كَالْبُنْيَانِ: يَشُدُّ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا» وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ.
