Bisimillah!! Assalaamalaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh?? RIGHTS OF A MUSLIM OVER ANOTHER MUSLIM!! 1.Replying To Salaam Is A Duty Of A Muslim Nasai narrates from Hazrat Abu Hurairah that the Holy Prophet said, There are rights of a Muslim over a Muslim: Responding to salaam, visiting the sick, following the bier (A platform upon which the corpse rests), accepting an invitation (to a meal) and blessing a person who sneezes. This narration has been narrated in Sahih Muslim in these words, There are six rights upon a Muslim. The Prophet was asked, What are these O’ Prophet of Allah? The Prophet replied, When you meet him, give him salaam, when he invites you, (to a meal) accept it, when he seeks counselling from you give him counselling and when he sneezes and says Alhamdulillah, bless him, when he falls ill visit him and when he dies accompany his funeral. 2.Warning Upon Not Replying To The Salaam It has been narrated from Abdur Rahmaan ibn Shayba; he says the Holy Prophet said, A rider should give salaam to a walking person, a walking person should give salaam to a seated person, a small group should give salaam to a larger group, whoever then responds to salaam, it is for his benefit, and he who does not respond to salaam, is not from amongst us. Ibn Sunni has narrated this and also Imaam Bukhari in his book Al Adabul Mufrad. On these bases Allama Nawawi in his commentary of Sahih Muslim has said, To commence salaam is Sunnah and to reply is Wajib. Similarly Hafiz ibn Abdul Bar says, It is an unanimous agreement of the Muslims that to commence Salaam is Sunnah and to reply is Wajib. 3. Reward For Giving Salaam It has been narrated by Saalim that the Holy Prophet said, He who says Assalaamu Alaikum (Peace be upon you) ten rewards are written down for him, and he who says Assalaamu Alaikum wa rahmatullah (Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy) for him twenty rewards are written down and he who says Assalaamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh (Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessing) thirty rewards are written down (for him). In support of this Hadith we find a narration by Ibn Umar in Musannaf-Abdul-Razzak; It has been narrated in this Hadith that a person came in the presence of the Holy Prophet and said, Assalamu Alaikum. The Holy Prophet replied, Ten. Then a second Sahabi came and said, Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullah. The Holy Prophet replied, Twenty. Then a third Sahabi arrived and said, Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Upon this the Holy Prophet said, Thirty. That is to say upon three words thirty rewards will be written down.
