أدَبُ الإخاءِ The Etiquette of Brotherhood

71- رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : إذا آخى أحَدُكُم رَجُلاً فَلْيَسألْهُ عَنِ اسمِهِ وَاسمِ أبيهِ وقَبيلَتِهِ ومَنزِلِهِ ؛ فَإنّهُ مِن واجِبِ الحَقِّ وصافِي الإخاءِ ، وإلّا فَهِيَ مَوَدَّةٌ حَمْقاءُ.

71- The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘When one of you takes a brother, he must ask him his name, his father’s name, his tribe and his address. This is part of true brotherhood, otherwise it is a foolish amity.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 74, p. 166, no. 30]

 

72- رسولُ اللهِ ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): اِلْقَ أخاكَ بوجْهٍ مُنبسِطٍ.

72- The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Meet your brother with a joyful face.’[Ibid. p. 171, no. 38]

 

73- عَن أنَس : كانَ رَسولُ اللّه‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) إذا فَقَدَ الرَّجُلَ مِن إخْوانِهِ ثَلاثَةَ أيّامٍ سَألَ عَنهُ ، فإنْ كانَ غائِبا دَعا لَهُ، وإنْ كانَ شاهِداً زارَهُ ، وإنْ كانَ مَريضا عادَهُ .

73- It is narrated in Bihar al-Anwar: When the Prophet (SAWA) missed the company of any of his brothers for three days, he would ask about him. If he was absent, he would pray for him; and if he was in town, he would visit him; and if he was ill, he would go to see him.’[Ibid. v. 16, p. 233, no. 35]
