Imam Al-Nawawi’s Riyad-us-Saliheen
Chapter 22
Giving Counsel
Allah, the Exalted, says:
“The believers are nothing else than brothers (in Islamic religion)”. (49:10)
“(Nuh said) I give sincere advice to you”. (7:62)
“(And Hud said) And I am a trustworthy adviser (or well-wisher) for you”. (7:68)
181. Tamim bin Aus Ad-Dari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Ad-Deen is sincerity”. We said: “For whom?” He replied, “For Allah, His Book, His Messenger and for the leaders of the Muslims and their masses”.
[Muslim].
182. Jarir bin `Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I made my covenant with Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) on the observance of Salat, payment of Zakat, and giving counsel to Muslim.”
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
183. Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “No one of you becomes a true believer until he likes for his brother what he likes for himself”.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
