1.Complete the Hadith with its Isna¯d.
2.Comment on it.
1. Completion of the Hadith with its Isnad:
On the authority of Abu Hamzah Anas b. Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), the servant of the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W), who said: The Prophet (S.A.W) said:
"None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." (Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim; it is Hadith 13 of the Forty Hadith of Imam an-Nawawi.)
The Isnad (chain) is therefore: the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W), narrated by the Companion Anas b. Malik, and recorded in the two authentic collections of al-Bukhari and Muslim.
2. Commentary:
- Faith and love for others: The Hadith links true faith (iman) with wishing for others the good that one wishes for oneself. Selfishness and envy are therefore contrary to complete belief.
- Meaning of brother: The word brother includes fellow Muslims, and in a general sense all human beings, so a believer wishes goodness and guidance for all.
- What is loved: A believer should love for his brother every kind of good, whether religious (faith, guidance, worship) or worldly (health, wealth, safety), and should hate for him whatever he hates for himself.
- Removal of envy and hatred: The Hadith uproots jealousy, malice and rivalry, because these arise when one is unhappy at the good fortune of others.
- Foundation of brotherhood and unity: By loving for others what one loves for oneself, the Muslim society is bound in mutual care, cooperation and peace.
- Practical application: It calls for honesty in trade, giving good advice, helping the needy, avoiding cheating and treating others the way one would like to be treated.
Conclusion: This Hadith sums up the social morality of Islam: perfect faith is shown not merely in worship but in genuine goodwill towards others.
