Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " حَقُّ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ خَمْسٌ: رَدُّ السَّلَامِ وَعِيَادَةُ الْمَرِيضِ وَاتِّبَاعُ الْجَنَائِزِ وَإِجَابَةُ الدعْوَة وتشميت الْعَاطِس "

Translation

Abu Hurayra, may God be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of God said: A Muslim owes another Muslim five duties: returning the greeting, visiting the sick, following funeral processions, accepting invitations, and invoking mercy for the sneezer.

Translation notes

  • The Arabic names the practice of tashmit for someone who sneezes; the English witness gives the customary formula, which is not spelled out in this Arabic text.
