حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لِلْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ سِتٌّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا لَقِيَهُ وَيُجِيبُهُ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيُشَمِّتُهُ إِذَا عَطَسَ وَيَعُودُهُ إِذَا مَرِضَ وَيَتْبَعُ جَنَازَتَهُ إِذَا مَاتَ وَيُحِبُّ لَهُ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ " . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي أَيُّوبَ وَالْبَرَاءِ وَأَبِي مَسْعُودٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي الْحَارِثِ الأَعْوَرِ .

‘Ali reported that Allah’s Messenger said: ‘A Muslim owes another Muslim six acts of kindness: greet him when you meet; respond when he calls 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.’
There are reports on this topic from Abu Hurayrah, Abu Ayyub, al-Bara’, and Abu Mas‘ud. Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan hadith, and it has been transmitted from the Prophet through more than one route. Some scholars criticized al-Harith al-A‘war.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic says to respond when the person calls; it does not specifically say to accept an invitation, as in the English witness. ‘Yushammituhu’ refers to invoking mercy after a sneeze.
