"The believer owes six duties toward his fellow believer: To visit him when he is sick, to attend his funeral when he dies, to accept his invitation, to greet him with Salam when he meets him, to reply to him (say: Yarhamuk Allah, may Allah have mercy on you) when he sneezes and to be sincere to him, whether he is absent or present." (Hasan). (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1938)

“The Muslim has the right to six acts of kindness from his fellow Muslim: he should greet him with salam when he meets him; he should say ‘Yarhamukallah (may Allah have mercy on you) when he sneezes; he should visit him when he is sick; he should respond to him when he invites him; he should attend his funeral when he dies, he should love for him what he loves for himself; and he should be sincere towards him when he is not present.ʿ It was narrated from Abu Ishaq from al-Harith... and he narrated a similar report with the same isnad.

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: The right of a believer upon another believer are six qualities: to greet him when they meet, to say "Yarhamuk Allah" (May Allah have mercy on you) when he sneezes and says "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah), to respond to his invitation when he invites, to visit him when he is sick, to attend his funeral when he dies, and to give him sincere advice when he is absent.
