حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " لِلْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ سِتَّةٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا لَقِيَهُ وَيُجِيبُهُ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيُشَمِّتُهُ إِذَا عَطَسَ وَيَعُودُهُ إِذَا مَرِضَ وَيَتْبَعُ جِنَازَتَهُ إِذَا مَاتَ وَيُحِبُّ لَهُ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ " .

Hannad ibn al-Sari narrated to us; Abu al-Ahwas narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Harith, from Ali, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘A Muslim owes another Muslim six acts of kindness: greet him when you meet; respond when he invites you; invoke mercy for him when he sneezes; visit him when he is ill; follow his funeral when he dies; and love for him what you love for yourself.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic names the six courtesies but does not include the English witness’s explanatory parenthetical about the sneezer’s response; that detail is not added.
