The Rights Of Fellow Muslims

Tradition n. 145

قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:

مَن اَحزَنَ مُؤمِنًا ثُمَّ اَعطاهُ الدّنيا لَم يَكُن ذلك كَفّارَتَهُ وَلَم يُؤ جَر عليه.

The Holy Prophet (S) said: “He who grieves a true Muslim cannot then compensate for it by offering him the entire world because it is not sufficient compensation (unless he repents and appeases the said person).”

Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 75, p. 150

Tradition n. 146

قالَ الإمامُ الكاظِمُ عليه السلام :

مِن اَوجَبِ حَقِّ اَخيكِ ألاّ تَك تُمَـهُ شَيئًا يَنفَعُـهُ لا مِن دُنياهُ وَ لا مِن آخِرَتِهِ.

Imam al-Kadhim (‘a) said: “Among your most compulsory duties towards your Muslim brother is that you conceal nothing from him which profits him either in this life or in the Hereafter.”

Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 2, p. 75

Tradition n. 147

قالَ الإمامُ الحَسَنُ بنُ عَليٍّ عليه السلام :

صاحِبِ النّاسَ مِثلَ ما تُحِبُّ أَن يُصاحِبُوكَ بِهِ.

Imam Hasan, the second Imam (‘a), said: “Treat others similar to the way you would like for them to treat you.”

Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 78, p. 116

Tradition n. 148

قالَ الإمامُ أَميرُ المُؤمنينَ عَلِيّ عليه السلام :

رَحِمَ اللّه اِم رَءًا أَحيا حَقًّا وَ أَماتَ باطِلاً وَ دَحَضَ الجَـورَ وَ أقامَ العَدلَ.

Imam Amir al-Mu’minin ‘Ali (‘a) said: “May Allah have mercy upon the person who services a right and removes a wrong, or refutes an injustice and establishes justice.”

Ghurar al-Hikam, p. 181

Tradition n. 149

قالَ الإمامُ الصّادِقُ عليه السلام :

أَربَعَة مِن اَخلاقِ الأنبِياءِ عليهمُ السَّلامُ: اَلبِرُّ، وَالسَّخاءُ، وَالصَّبرُ عَلَى النّائِبَة، وَالقِيامُ بِحَقِّ المُؤمِنِ.

Imam as-Sadiq (‘a) said: “These four characteristics are from the manners of Prophets (‘a): righteousness, graciousness, patience and perseverance in tolerating misfortunes, and rising for the right of a believer.”

Tuhaf al-’Uqul, p. 277

Tradition n. 150

قالَ الإمامُ أَميرُ المُؤمنينَ عَلِيّ عليه السلام :

اِنَّمَا عِمَادُ الدّينِ، وَ جِماعُ المُسلِمِينَ، وَالعُدَّة لِلاَعداءِ، العامَّةُ مِنَ الاُمَّة، فَليَكُن صِغ وُكَ لَهُم، وَمَيلُكَ مَعَهُم.

Imam Amir Al-Mu’minin ‘Ali (‘a) said: “Surely, it is the common people of the community who are the pillars of the religion, the power of the Muslims and the defence against the enemies. Your leaning should therefore be towards them and your inclination with them.”

Nahjul Balagha, Letter 53

Tradition n. 151

قالَ الإمامُ الصّادِقُ عليه السلام :

ما عُبِدَ اللّه بِشي ءٍ اَفضَلَ مِن اَداءِ حَقِّ المُؤمِنِ.

Imam as-Sadiq (‘a) said: “In no way is Allah worshipped better than by fulfilling the right of a believer.”

Al-Kafi, Vol.2, p. 170

Tradition n. 152

قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:

مَن آذى مُؤمِناً فَقَد آذاني.

The Holy Prophet (S) said: “He who hurts a Muslim believer, surely he has hurt me.”

Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 67, p. 72

Tradition n. 153

قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:

مَنِ اقتَطَعَ مالَ مُؤمِنٍ غَصبًا بِغَيرِ حَقٍّ لَم يَزَلِ اللّه مُعرِضـًا عَنهُ، ماقِتًا لاَِعمالِـهِ الَّتي يَعمَلُها مِـنَ البِـرِّ وَ الخَيرِ لا يُثبِتُها في حَسَناتِهِ حَتّى يَتُوبَ وَ يَرُدَّ المَالَ الّذي اَخَذَهُ إِلى صاحِبِهِ.

The Holy Prophet (S) said: “He who unlawfully and usurpingly deprives a believer of wealth, Allah will continue to be displeased with him and does not accept his good actions that he fulfils; and none of them will be recorded among his good deeds until he repents and returns the wealth which he had taken to its owner.”
