Hadith on Brotherhood: Believers feel their pain together

Sahl ibn Sa’d reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, the believer among the people of faith is like the place of the head to the body. The believer feels pain for the people of faith, just as the body feels pain for the head.”

عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِيمَانِ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الرَّأْسِ مِنْ الْجَسَدِ يَأْلَمُ الْمُؤْمِنُ لِأَهْلِ الْإِيمَانِ كَمَا يَأْلَمُ الْجَسَدُ لِمَا فِي الرَّأْسِ
