00:00:00.850 --> 00:00:03.850
A hadith and commentary.

00:00:03.850 --> 00:00:08.539
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

00:00:08.539 --> 00:00:15.119
"The likeness of the believers in their mutual love, mercy, and compassion

00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:17.219
is like a single body;

00:00:17.219 --> 00:00:19.219
if one part of it suffers,

00:00:19.219 --> 00:00:24.219
the rest of the body joins it in sleeplessness and fever."

00:00:24.219 --> 00:00:26.570
Agreed upon.

00:00:26.570 --> 00:00:29.109
Commentary:

00:00:29.109 --> 00:00:33.560
The meaning of "the rest of the body joins it"

00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.560
is that the parts of the body call upon one another to share in the pain.

00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:42.659
This indicates, as Imam al-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, stated,

00:00:42.659 --> 00:00:46.659
the great importance of the rights Muslims owe to one another,

00:00:46.659 --> 00:00:51.659
and it encourages them toward mercy, kindness, and mutual support.
