عن أَبي هريرة رضي اللّه عنه قال: قال رسول اللّه صَلّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم: «المُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِم لا يخُونُه ولا يَكْذِبُهُ ولا يخْذُلُهُ، كُلُّ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ حرامٌ عِرْضُهُ ومالُه ودمُهُ، التَّقْوَى هَهُنا، بِحسْبِ امْرِىءٍ مِنَ الشَّرِّ أَنْ يَحْقِرَ أَخاهُ المسلم» رواه الترمذيُّ وقال: حديث حسن.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "A Muslim is a brother to another Muslim: he does not betray him, nor lie to him, nor forsake him. Everything of a Muslim is inviolable to another Muslim: his honor, his wealth, and his blood. Piety is here. It is enough evil for a person to look down upon his Muslim brother." Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, who graded it as a good (hasan) hadith.

لا يخونه: أي لا ينقصه حقّه الّذي له عليه، بأن يكون أمينًا معه في كل ما يتطلب الأمانة. لا يَكذِبه: أي لا يخبره بأمر على خلاف الواقع. لا يخذله: أي لا يترك نصرته وعونه. عِرضه: أي حسَبه ومفاخر آبائه، فلا تُنتَهك بالسب والغيبة. بِحسْب: أي كافٍ.
"He does not betray him" (la yakhuunuhu): meaning he does not diminish his rights, being trustworthy with him in all that requires trust. "Nor lie to him" (la yakdhibuhu): meaning he does not tell him something contrary to reality. "Nor forsake him" (la yakhdhuluhu): meaning he does not abandon his support and aid. "His honor" ('irduhu): meaning his lineage and ancestral distinctions, which should not be violated through insults or backbiting. "Enough" (bi-hasb): meaning sufficient.

تحريم دمِ المسلم وماله وعرضه. تحريم احتقار المسلم وهو من أعظم الذنوب، لأنّ للمسلم حرمة عند اللّه تعالى. تحريم خِذلان المسلم أشدّ التحريم على من استطاع نصرة المظلوم ودفع ظالمِه عنه.
The blood, wealth, and honor of a Muslim are inviolable. Looking down upon a Muslim is prohibited and is among the gravest of sins, for a Muslim has sanctity in the sight of Allah the Most High. Forsaking a Muslim is most strictly forbidden for one who is capable of supporting the oppressed and repelling his oppressor.
