Five Qualities of a Muslim

SUMMARY: A Muslim should display five qualities to their brother, which are returning salutations, responding to a sneeze, accepting invitations, visiting the sick and accompanying funerals.

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) as saying: There are five qualities which a Muslim should display to his brother : return of salutation, response to the one who sneezes, acceptance of the invitation, paying sick visit to a patient, and accompanying the funeral.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ، وَخُشَيْشُ بْنُ أَصْرَمَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ خَمْسٌ تَجِبُ لِلْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى أَخِيهِ رَدُّ السَّلاَمِ وَتَشْمِيتُ الْعَاطِسِ وَإِجَابَةُ الدَّعْوَةِ وَعِيَادَةُ الْمَرِيضِ وَاتِّبَاعُ الْجَنَازَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the qualities that Muslims should display towards their brothers. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that we should return salutations when someone greets us with peace, respond when someone sneezes near us by saying ‘Yarhamukallah’ or ‘May Allah have mercy on you’, accept invitations from others even if we don’t feel like going out and socializing at the time, visit those who are sick and offer them our support and prayers for recovery and accompany funerals of our deceased brothers in faith. These five qualities are essential for any Muslim to practice in order to build strong relationships with other Muslims as well as strengthen their own faith.
