The Believers Are Brothers  
 
1- رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : المؤمنونَ إخْوَةٌ، تَتَكافى 
دِماؤهُم، وَهُمْ يَدٌ على مَن سِواهُم ، يَسْعى بذِمّتِهم أدناهُم.  1- The 
Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘The believers are brothers, their blood is coequal, and 
they are one hand against others, the most inferior among them is empowered by 
their protection [of him].’[Amali al-Mufid, p. 187, no. 13]  
   2- الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : رُبَّ أخٍ لَم تَلِدْهُ اُمُّكَ.  2- 
Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Many a brother was not given birth by your own 
mother.’[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 5351]    

 3- الإمامُ الباقرُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : المؤمنُ أخو المؤمِن لأبيهِ واُمِّهِ.  
3- Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘A believer is the brother of another believer [as 
if] from his own mother and father.’[al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 166, no. 2 and 7]     4- 
الامام الصادق (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : المُؤمنُ أخو المؤمنِ ، عَينُهُ ودَليلُهُ ، 
لا يَخونُهُ ، ولا يَظْلِمُهُ ، ولا يَغُشُّهُ ، ولا يَعِدُهُ عِدَةً فيَخْلِفَهُ 
.  

4- Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘A believer is the brother of another believer, his 
eye and his guide; he does not betray him, nor wrong him, nor deceive him, and 
nor does he rescind a promise he made to him.’[Ibid. no. 3]     5- الامام 
الصادق (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : المؤمنُ أخو المؤمنِ كالجَسَدِ الواحدِ، إنِ اشتكَى 
شيئا مِنهُ وَجَدَ ألمَ ذلكَ في سائرِ جسدِهِ ، وأرواحُهُما مِن رُوحٍ واحدةٍ .  

5- Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘A believer is the brother of another believer, 
like a single body. If any part of him suffers, he will feel its pain in his 
entire body; and their souls are also made of one soul.’[Ibid. no. 4]     
الاستِكثارُ مِنَ الإخوانِ 

 True Brothers  
رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : استكْثِروا مِن الإخوانِ ؛ 
فإنَّ لكلِّ مؤمنٍ شَفاعةً يومَ القيامةِ.   6-
6 The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Seek to increase your brothers [i.e. believeing 
friends], for every believer will make an intercession on the Day of 
Judgment.’[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 24642]  
 7- الإمام عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : عَلَيكَ بإخوانِ الصِّدْقِ فأكْثِرْ مِنِ 
اكتِسابِهِم؛ فإنَّهُم عُدّةٌ عِندَ الرَّخاءِ ، وجُنّةٌ عِندَ البَلاءِ.  7- Imam 
Ali (AS) said, ‘Adopt [the friendship of] true brothers and increase in your 
acquisition of them, for they are an asset in times of prosperity, and a shield 
during afflictions.’[Amali al-Saduq, p. 250, no. 8]
