Hadith on Ikhwah: Believer is a mirror to his brother

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The believer is a mirror to his faithful brother. He protects him against loss and defends him behind his back.” Abu Huraira said, “The believer is a mirror to his brother. If he sees something wrong in him, he should correct it.”
