[Machine] Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The rights of a Muslim upon another Muslim are six." They asked, "What are these rights?" He replied, "When you meet him, greet him with salaam (Islamic greeting), when he invites you, accept his invitation, when he seeks advice, advise him, when he sneezes and praises Allah, say 'Yarhamuk Allah' (may Allah have mercy on you), when he is ill, visit him, and when he dies, accompany his funeral procession."  

ابن حبّان:٢٤٢أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «حَقُّ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ سِتٌّ» قَالُوا مَا هُنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «إِذَا لَقِيَهُ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا دَعَاهُ أَجَابَهُ وَإِذَا اسْتَنْصَحَ نَصَحَهُ وَإِذَا عَطَسَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ يُشَمِّتُهُ وَإِذَا مَرِضَ عَادَهُ وَإِذَا مَاتَ صَحِبَهُ»
