And anyone who hears one who says: ‘O Muslims!’ and he does not respond to him, he is not a Muslim.” He (S) also said: “People are the dependents of Allah; so the most beloved by Allah is he who benefits the dependents of Allah most.” He (S) also said: “People are all the dependents of Allah; so the most beloved by Allah is he who benefits them most.” He (S) also said: “The best of people is he from whom people benefit” He (S) also said: “Surely the greatest of people in status to Allah on the Day of Resurrection is the one who travels most on the earth in the path of benevolence to the people,” He (S) also said: “Each one of you should be benevolent to his brother as he is to himself.” He (S) also said: “The believers are brothers, some of them fulfill the needs of others and by virtue of fulfilling each other’s needs, Allah will fulfill their needs on the Day of Resurrection.” He (S) also said: “Accompanying a Muslim brother for the satisfaction of his needs is more beloved to Allah than two months retreat (i’tikaf) in the Masjid al-Haram.” He (S) also said: “Believers in doing good to each other and in being merciful and compassionate to each other are like one body.

When one part is in pain the other parts echo its distress in sleeplessness and fever.” Imam ‘Ali Zayn al-’Abidin (a.s.) said: “And the rights of your brother in religion is to intend peace and mercy for him... and that the aged must be like your parents, the youth like your brothers and sisters, and the young ones must be like your children.” Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a.s.) said: “A believer is a brother to his believing fellow, an eye and a guide for him.

He never betrays wrongs or tricks him, nor does he make to him a promise which he breaks.” He (a.s.) also said: “A Muslim is a brother to another: he is his eye, his mirror and his guide; he does not betray, cheat, or oppress him; neither does he tell him a lie or backbite him.” He (a.s.) also said: “The Messenger of Allah was asked: ‘Who is the most beloved of Allah’.’’ He said: “The most beneficial of people to the people.” He (a.s.) also said: “Continue being benevolent for the sake of Allah towards His people; for you will never find any action more meritorious than it.” He (a.s.) also said: “It is incumbent upon a believer to be benevolent to other believers, whether in their presence or their absence.” He (a.s.) also said: “Believers are servants one to another.” He was asked how they could be servants to each other.
