Riyad as-Salihin, 846
Al-Bara' bin 'Azib (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded us to do seven things: to visit the sick, to follow the funeral (of a dead believer), to invoke the Mercy of Allah upon one who sneezes (i.e., by saying to him: Yarhamuk- Allah), to support the weak, to help the oppressed, to promote the greeting of 'As-Salamu 'Alaikum', and to help those who swear to do something to keep their oaths. <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن أبي عمارة البراء بن عازب رضي الله عنهما قال: أمرنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بسبع: بعيادة المريض، واتباع الجنائز، وتشميت العاطس، ونصر الضعيف، وعون المظلوم، وإفشاء السلام وإبرار المقسم. ((متفق عليه هذا لفظ إحدى روايات البخاري)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It shows the rights of Muslims upon one another. Fulfillment of the rights of Muslims is one of the fruits of faith.<br>
2) It is part of the Prophet’s guidance to give the greeting of peace, spread it among Muslims, and say it to those you know and those you do not know. This holds benefit for a person in his worldly life and in the Hereafter.
