Love good for your brother as for yourself
*************************************************
Then he mentioned a higher degree in belief, man should love good for his brother as for himself, the prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said to those who have healthy hearts and pure souls:
"No one of you will be a believer unless he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." 1
He urged all Muslims to work for this high degree in order to become perfect believers. If we apply and follow this Hadeeth in our life, will there be any problems? No, never by Allah, because I question myself and my brother questions himself and everyone love good for his brother as for himself, so there will be no problems, same as it was in the ideal life in Medina originated by the messenger of Allah (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
We'll mention only one example for that, you know that Ansar welcomed their emigrant brothers and shared their houses, wealth and other things with them. When Islam prevailed and profits came, the messenger of Allah gathered Ansar and said to them:
"What do you say? Do I give these profits to the emigrants because they are poor so that they leave you what they took from you or divide them amongst you both and they keep what you gave them?"
Look at these people, who gave preference over themselves, they said:
"O messenger of Allah, give all the profits to emigrants and we won't take anything from them because we did it for Allah."
Then this verse was revealed:
"Those who, before them, had homes (in Al-Medina) and had adopted the Faith, love those who emigrate to them, and have no jealousy in their breasts for that which they have been given, and give them (emigrants) preference over themselves, even though they were in need of that. Whosoever is saved from his own covetousness, such are they who will be the successful." (59-9)
Allah didn't say: "They had homes only but had homes and faith." So we should ask for home with faith, when the companions of the prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) saw this verse and these blessed Ahadeeth, they followed this way in their behaviors and their lives. One of them wouldn't be satisfied unless he saw the good in his brother. Sending away the bad and loving the good for his brother in his own heart is more than for himself. It's not a matter of poverty and difficulty, but it is the wideness of breasts and the purity of hearts which only comes by clear faith and pure love for Allah and his prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
