00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
The Forty Hadith of Al-Nawawi.

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.439
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:13.439
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:15.439
"Do not envy one another,

00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.440
do not artificially inflate prices against one another,

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:19.440
do not hate one another,

00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.440
do not turn your backs on one another,

00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:25.440
and do not underbid one another in transactions.

00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:29.539
Rather, be servants of Allah and brothers to each other.

00:00:29.539 --> 00:00:31.699
A Muslim is a brother to a fellow Muslim:

00:00:31.699 --> 00:00:33.700
he does not wrong him,

00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:35.700
nor abandon him,

00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:37.700
nor lie to him,

00:00:37.700 --> 00:00:39.700
nor look down upon him.

00:00:39.700 --> 00:00:41.700
Piety is right here,"

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:43.700
and he pointed to his chest three times.

00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:45.920
"It is sufficient evil for a person

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.920
to hold his Muslim brother in contempt.

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:54.020
Everything belonging to a Muslim is inviolable to another Muslim:

00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:56.020
his blood, his wealth, and his honor."

00:00:56.020 --> 00:00:58.270
Related by Muslim.

00:00:58.270 --> 00:01:05.519
This hadith illustrates the foundation of social relationships in Islam,

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:09.519
which are brotherhood, love, and purity of heart.

00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:13.519
For the Prophet (peace be upon him) strictly forbade

00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:15.519
everything that corrupts mutual affection among people,

00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.519
such as envy, deception, and mutual hatred,

00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:25.519
and he commanded that Muslims be brothers who love and support one another.
