5 rights of Muslims upon one another
1 min read
These are the five rights:
- To return the greetings
- To visit the sick
- To attend the Janaza (funeral)
- to accept an invitation
- To respond to the sneezer by saying Yarhamukallah
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “Every Muslim has five rights over another Muslim (i.e., he has to perform five duties for another Muslim): to return the greetings, to visit the sick, to accompany funeral processions, to accept an invitation, to respond to the sneezer [i.e., to say: ‘Yarhamuk-Allah (may Allah bestow His Mercy on you),’ when the sneezer praises Allah].”
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ”حق المسلم علي المسلم خمس: رد السلام، وعيادة المريض، واتباع الجنائز، وإجابة الدعوة، وتشميت العاطس” ((متفق عليه)) .
