 Allah's Messenger
(Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam) said, "There are six good
qualities which one believer should display to another: he should visit him when he is
ill, be present when he dies, accept his invitation when he gives one, salute him when he
meets him, say 'Allah have mercy on you' when he sneezes, and act sincerely towards him
whether he is absent or present."
