Hadith on Brotherhood: Muslims remain brothers, unless they sin

Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The Muslims is the brother of another Muslim. He does not wrong him, nor forsake him. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no two people who love each other for Allah and then separate but that it was due to a sin committed by one of them.”

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ لَا يَظْلِمُهُ وَلَا يَخْذُلُ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ مَا تَوَادَّ اثْنَانِ فَفُرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا بِذَنْبٍ يُحْدِثُهُ أَحَدُهُمَا
