حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، يَقُولُ: حَقُّ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ خَمْسٌ: رَدُّ السَّلَامِ، وَعِيَادَةُ الْمَرِيضِ، وَاتِّبَاعُ الْجَنَائِزِ، وَإِجَابَةُ الدَّعْوَةِ، وَتَشْمِيتُ الْعَاطِسِ.
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
I heard Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, "The rights of a Muslim on a Muslim are five: (1) To return the greetings, (2) to visit the sick, (3) to follow the funeral processions (4) to accept invitation and (5) to reply the sneezer [saying, Yarhamu-ka-Allah (may Allâh be merciful to you), provided the sneezer says, Al-hamdu-lillah (all the praises are for Allâh)]. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 332, Vol. 2 )
