A hadith and commentary.
0:03
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:08
"Let your hands be soft for your brothers."
0:12
Commentary:
0:14
This is a phrase the Prophet, peace be upon him, used to say
0:18
while he was straightening the rows for prayer.
0:21
It is as if he were saying:
0:23
If your brother standing next to you takes your hand
0:27
to move you forward or backward in the row,
0:30
do not resist or become annoyed.
0:33
Rather, be compliant and yielding toward him,
0:36
because he is your brother,
0:38
and because he intends good for you.
0:41
This is how we ought to be in recommended and permissible matters:
0:46
that we cooperate and remain gentle,
0:49
that we strive for harmony and accord,
0:52
and that we abandon discord and division.
0:55
May this noble and beautiful phrase—
0:58
"Let your hands be soft for your brothers"—
1:01
be one of our mottos,
1:04
a phrase that circulates constantly upon our tongues,
1:08
and one that is present and applied in our daily interactions.
