The Believers Are Brothers

The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘The believers are brothers, their blood is coequal, and they are one hand against others, the most inferior among them is empowered by their protection [of him].

Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Many a brother was not given birth by your own mother.

Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘A believer is the brother of another believer [as if] from his own mother and father.

Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘A believer is the brother of another believer, his eye and his guide; he does not betray him, nor wrong him, nor deceive him, and nor does he rescind a promise he made to him.

Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘A believer is the brother of another believer, like a single body. If any part of him suffers, he will feel its pain in his entire body; and their souls are also made of one soul.
