Al-Adab Al-Mufrad
Hasan (Al-Albani)
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ‏:‏ الْمُؤْمِنُ مَرْآةُ أَخِيهِ، وَالْمُؤْمِنُ أَخُو الْمُؤْمِنِ، يَكُفُّ عَلَيْهِ ضَيْعَتَهُ، وَيَحُوطُهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ‏.‏
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A believer is the mirror of his brother. A believer is the brother of another believer. He protects him against loss and defends him behind his back."
