Commentary:
This Hadith contains a very comprehensive injunction to eliminate disturbance and tyranny in the
Muslim society. It not only ordains helping the oppressed but also encourages people endowed with moral courage
to stop the oppressor's oppression. Doing so requires great courage and boldness, but Muslims would be able to do
full justice to their duty of wishing well to their fellow Muslims when they develop the moral courage to stop the
oppressor from tyranny, or at least protest against it verbally.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah bepleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"A believer owes
another believer five rights: responding to greetings, visiting him in illness, following his funeral, accepting his
invitation, and saying `Yarhamuk-Allah (May Allah have mercy on you),' when he says `Al-hamdu lillah (Praise be
to Allah)' after sneezing".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Muslim's narration is,
"There are six rights of a Muslim upon a Muslim: When you meet him, greet him; when he
invites you, respond to him; when he seeks counsel, give him advice; when he sneezes and praises Allah, say to him:
`May Allah have mercy on you (Yarhamuk-Allah)'; when he is sick, visit him; and when he dies, follow his funeral".
Commentary:
The bond of brotherhood among the Muslims has been further strengthened by the list in this Hadith
about the rights of Muslims on one another.

Al-Bara' bin `Azib (May Allah bepleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) commanded us to observe
seven things and forbade us seven.
He ordered us to visit the sick; to follow funeral processions; to respond to a
sneezer with `Yarhamuk-Allah (May Allah have mercy on you)' when he says `Al-hamdu lillah (Praise be to Allah),'
to help the oppressed and to help others to fulfill their oaths, to accept invitation and to promote greeting. He
forbade us to wear gold rings, to drink in silver utensils, to use Mayathir (silk carpets placed on saddles), to wear Al-
Qassiy (a kind of silk cloth) to wear fine silk brocade.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
To materialize the pledge means that if a person relies on you and says that by Allah, you must do
such and such a thing, then you should not let him down, you should do that work and fulfill his pledge. But this is
subject to the condition that the work in question is not unlawful. It is not only permissible but also comes in the list
of high moral values.
