Hadith 35

Brotherhood in Islam

الأخوة في الإسلام

لا تَحَاسَدُوا، وَلا تَنَاجَشُوا، وَلا تَبَاغَضُوا، وَلا تَدَابَرُوا، وَلا يَبِعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ، وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إخْوَانًا

Translation

Do not envy one another, do not artificially raise prices, do not hate one another, do not turn away from each other, do not undercut each other in business. Be servants of Allah, as brothers.
