النضر بن سويد

“See your heart. If it dislikes your friend then notice that one of you have done something newly wrong.’”

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A people of those who believed in Musa (a.s.) decided to join the army of Pharaoh so that they can benefit from their worldly gains and if Musa ‘Alayhi al-Salam succeeded to join him. They did as they had decided to do. When Musa ‘Alayhi al-Salam and his followers went to the sea running away from Pharaoh, those people also rode their stumpers and rushed to join Musa ‘Alayhi al-Salam and his army to remain with them but Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, sent an angel who turned the faces of their stumpers toward the Pharaoh and his army, as a result, they drowned along with those who drowned.”’ Ibn Faddal has narrated from Ali ibn ‘Uqbah from certain persons of our people who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is a right on Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, to make you with those whom you loved in the world.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘One of the rights of a Muslim on his brother (in belief) is that on meeting him he should offer him the greeting of peace, visit him when he is ill, look after his interests in his absence and when sneezing one should say: “All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds, who has no partner.” In response, he (his companion) should say, “May Allah have mercy on you.” The sneezing person should reply back by saying, “May Allah guide you, and look after your concerns.” Of such rights is to accept his call and attend his funeral.’”

“If a Muslim (believing) servant (of Allah) comes out of his house to visit his brother, due to Allah’s relation, not for any other reason and just because of Allah, with interest in what is with Allah, Allah, the Majestic, the Glorious, appoints seventy thousand angels who applaud behind him until he comes home, ‘How beautiful is your deed! How beautiful is paradise for you!”’
