وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ مِرْآةُ أَخِيهِ فَإِنْ رَأَى بِهِ أَذًى فَلْيُمِطْ عَنْهُ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَضَعَّفَهُ. وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لَهُ وَلِأَبِي دَاوُدَ: «الْمُؤْمِنُ مِرْآةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُ أَخُو الْمُؤْمِنِ يَكُفُّ عَنْهُ ضَيْعَتَهُ وَيَحُوطُهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ»
AbuHurayrah Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Each of you is (like) the mirror of his (Muslim) brother. Hence, if he sees in him something wrong, he should remove it from him." (Bring him to the right path by preaching mildly or warning or pointing out his fault but by pursuing the rules of admonition).Tirmidhi termed this narration weak. But, according to another version: (The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:) 'A believer is the mirror of another believer, and a believer is the brother of another believer. He protects him from loss (through evil or defect by removing) and cares for him in his absence (concerning his rights and interests).' [2]
