Brotherhood/Sisterhood in the Qur’an & Sunnah [thread]

The believers are but brothers, so make reconciliation between your brothers and fear Allah that you may receive mercy.

[49:10]

Hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. Remember the favor of Allah upon you, when you were enemies and he brought your hearts together and you became brothers by his favor.

[3:103]

The believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and establish prayer and give charity and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah will have mercy upon them, for Allah is Almighty and Wise.

They say: Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts any resentment toward those who have faith. Our Lord, you are kind and merciful.

[59:10]

Do not hate each other, do not envy each other, do not turn away from each other, but rather be servants of Allah as brothers. It is not lawful for a Muslim to boycott his brother for more than three days.

[Bukhari 5718]

The parable of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever.

[Bukhari 5665]

The Muslims are like a single man. If the eye is afflicted, then the whole body is afflicted. If the head is afflicted, then the whole body is afflicted.

[Muslim 2586]

Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever helps ease one in difficulty, Allah will make it easy for him in this world and in the Hereafter...

...Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah helps the servant as long as he helps his brother.

[Muslim 2699]

[Muslim 2732]

A Muslim has six rights over another Muslim in good conduct: to greet him with peace when he meets him, to respond to his invitation, to respond to his sneeze...

... to visit him when he is sick, to follow his funeral prayer when he dies, and to love for him what he loves for himself.

[Tirmidhi 2736]

Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the most false of tales. Do not seek out faults, do not spy on each other, do not contend with each other...

...do not envy each other, do not hate each other, and do not turn away from each other. Rather, be servants of Allah as brothers.

[Bukhari 5719]

Support your brother, whether he is an oppressor or is being oppressed.

It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, we help the one being oppressed but how do we help an oppressor?” The Prophet said...

...By restraining him or preventing him from committing injustice, for that is how you support him.

[Bukhari 6552]

[31:15]

The one who cuts off his family will not enter Paradise.

[Bukhari 5638]

No sin deserves quicker punishment from Allah Almighty for its doer in the world, along with what is prepared for him in the Hereafter, like transgression and severing family ties.

Verily, the relatives of my father are not my allies. Verily, only Allah and the righteous believers are my allies. Yet, they have the bonds of kinship and I will uphold their family ties.

[Bukhārī 5644]

The servant does not reach the reality of faith until he loves for people what he loves for himself of goodness.

[Ibn Ḥibbān 238]

Whoever would love to be delivered from the Hellfire and entered into Paradise, then let him die with faith in Allah and the Last Day, and let him treat people the way he would love to be treated.

[Muslim 1844]
