What It Means: Reading in Context
A man comes to the Prophet asking for something, and the Prophet turns to those present with this instruction. “Him” refers to the person requesting help. The source groups Bukhari 6026 and 6027; this excerpt selects the appeal to assist, after an earlier comparison of believers to a mutually supporting building. This entry comes from Sahih al-Bukhari 6026, 6027. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
