Sahih al-Bukhari 2445 (Book 46, Hadith 6) #2340
The Seven Do's and Don'ts of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)

SUMMARY: This hadith explains seven things that the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to do and seven other things he prohibited us from doing.

Narrated Muawiya bin Suwaid: I heard Al-Bara' bin 'Azib saying, "The Prophet orders us to do seven things and prohibited us from doing seven other things". Then Al-Bara' mentioned the following:-- I To pay a visit to the sick (inquiring about his health), II to follow funeral processions, III to say to a sneezer, "May Allah be merciful to you" (if he says, "Praise be to Allah!"), IV to return greetings, V to help the oppressed, VI to accept invitations, VII to help others to fulfill their oaths.
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الأَشْعَثِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ سُوَيْدٍ، سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ أَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ بِسَبْعٍ، وَنَهَانَا عَنْ سَبْعٍ‏.‏ فَذَكَرَ عِيَادَةَ الْمَرِيضِ، وَاتِّبَاعَ الْجَنَائِزِ، وَتَشْمِيتَ الْعَاطِسِ، وَرَدَّ السَّلاَمِ، وَنَصْرَ الْمَظْلُومِ، وَإِجَابَةَ الدَّاعِي، وَإِبْرَارَ الْمُقْسِمِ‏.‏
