حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لأَخِيهِ (أَوْ قَالَ لِجَارِهِ) مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) observed: “None amongst you believes (truly) until he loves for his brother” – or he said “for his neighbour” – “that which he loves for himself.”

ابو عامر عبداللہ بن براداشعری ‘ ابو اسامہ ‘ مفضل بن مغیرہ سے روایت کی ، کہا : میں نے شعبی کو کہتے ہوئے سنا : مجھ سے حارث اعور نے روایت کی بیان کی اور ( یہ کہ ) وہ گواہی دیتے ہیں کہ وہ ( حارث ) جھوٹوں میں سے ایک تھا ۔

(Bize Ebû Âmir Abdullah b. Berrâd el-Eş'arî rivâyet etti. ki): Bize Ebû Üsâme , Mufaddıl'dan o da Mugîra'dan naklen rivâyet eyledi. ki: Şa'biyi: «Bana el-Hârisü'l - A'ver rivâyet etti.» derken işittim. Halbuki kendisi onun yalancılardan biri olduğuna şehâdet eylerdi

What it means

What it teaches

• It is obligatory for a person to love for his brother what he loves for himself, as the negation of Imān from someone who does not love for his brother what he loves for himself indicates the obligation of doing that.
• The bond of brotherhood for the sake of Allah is superior to biological brotherhood, and so its right is more worthy of fulfillment.
• Anything that contradicts this love is prohibited, including words and deeds like cheating, backbiting, envy, and transgression against the life, property, or honor of a Muslim.
• We should use some words of motivation, as he said: "for his brother".
• Al-Kirmāni (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: It is also part of Imān that a person should dislike bad things for his brother as he dislikes them for himself. He did not mention it because the love of something entails dislike for its opposite. So, this was needless to say.
