The Rights of the Muslim
There rights of the Muslim are: If you meet him, you must salute with a greeting
of peace, to answer him if he invites you, to invoke blessings upon him if he
sneezes, to visit him if he is sick, to attend his funeral when he dies, to comply
with his oath if he swears upon a thing, to offer your advice if he seeks it, to
preserve him in his absence, and to love for him what you love for yourself, and
to hate for him what you hate for yourself.
The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: “If you are seated with others
then you wish to leave, you must give greetings of peace, but if you see that it is
necessary for you to stay, then if you wish to leave again, you must give
greetings of peace again, as the first is not more worthy than the last.”
And he also said: “If you see me coming, do not stand for me, this is only the way
of the unbelievers.”
