حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْبَاطِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ لاَ يَخُونُهُ وَلاَ يَكْذِبُهُ وَلاَ يَخْذُلُهُ كُلُّ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ حَرَامٌ عِرْضُهُ وَمَالُهُ وَدَمُهُ التَّقْوَى هَا هُنَا بِحَسْبِ امْرِئٍ مِنَ الشَّرِّ أَنْ يَحْتَقِرَ أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَأَبِي أَيُّوبَ .
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah said: : "The Muslim Is The Brother To The Muslim, He Does Not Cheat Him, Lie To Him, Nor Deceive Him. All Of The Muslim Is Unlawful To Another Muslim: His Honor, His Wealth, And His Blood. At-Taqwa Is Here. It Is Enough Evil For A Man That He Belittle His Brother Muslim."

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 1927
This hadith about Muslim brotherhood gives several clear rules for how Muslims should treat one another. The Prophet says that a Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He does not cheat him, lie to him, or deceive him. The hadith then says that a Muslim’s honor, wealth, and blood are unlawful to another Muslim. It also points to taqwa and says, “At-Taqwa is here,” showing that the inner state matters. Still, the hadith does not let a person claim taqwa while harming people. It ends with a strong warning: it is enough evil for a person to belittle his Muslim brother. Brotherhood must protect dignity, safety, and trust.
What we learn from this hadith
- A Muslim must not cheat, lie to, or deceive another Muslim.
- A Muslim’s honor, wealth, and blood are protected in the hadith.
- Belittling a Muslim brother is described as enough evil for a person.
- Taqwa is connected to both the heart and outward behavior.
