Sahih al-Bukhari — Hadith 13
Narrated by Anas ibn Malik
لاَ يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لأَخِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ
Translation
The Prophet said: 'None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.'
Commentary
This hadith encapsulates the Islamic ethic of empathy and solidarity. It defines faith not merely as ritual observance but as a state of moral consciousness that extends concern for others' well-being equal to one's own. The word 'brother' is understood by scholars to include all of humanity.
