said, "A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor
should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah
will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah
will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a
Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection." [Vol 3: #622] |

Transmitted by Muslim. |
| Allah's Messenger
(Sal-allahu-aleihi-wassallam) said "A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He neither
oppresses him nor humiliates him nor looks down upon him. The piety is here, (and while
saying so) he pointed towards his chest thrice. It is a serious evil for a Muslim that he
should look down upon his brother Muslim. All things of a Muslim are inviolable for his
brother in faith; his blood, his wealth and his honour". |

brothers." [47.15] |
