Riyad as-Saliheen 895
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Every Muslim has five rights over another Muslim (i.e., he has to perform five duties for another Muslim): to return the greetings, to visit the sick, to accompany funeral processions, to accept an invitation, to respond to the sneezer [i.e., to say: 'Yarhamuk-Allah (may Allah bestow His Mercy on you),' when the sneezer praises Allah]."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: "حق المسلم علي المسلم خمس: رد السلام، وعيادة المريض، واتباع الجنائز، وإجابة الدعوة، وتشميت العاطس” ((متفق عليه)) .
