00:00:00,850 --> 00:00:03,850
A hadith and commentary.

2
00:00:03,850 --> 00:00:08,539
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

3
00:00:08,539 --> 00:00:15,119
"The likeness of the believers in their mutual love, mercy, and compassion

4
00:00:15,119 --> 00:00:17,219
is like a single body;

5
00:00:17,219 --> 00:00:19,219
if one part of it suffers,

6
00:00:19,219 --> 00:00:24,219
the rest of the body joins it in sleeplessness and fever."

7
00:00:24,219 --> 00:00:26,570
Agreed upon.

8
00:00:26,570 --> 00:00:29,109
Commentary:

9
00:00:29,109 --> 00:00:33,560
The meaning of "the rest of the body joins it"

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,560
is that the parts of the body call upon one another to share in the pain.

11
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,659
This indicates, as Imam al-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, stated,

12
00:00:42,659 --> 00:00:46,659
the great importance of the rights Muslims owe to one another,

13
00:00:46,659 --> 00:00:51,659
and it encourages them toward mercy, kindness, and mutual support.
