١٩٢٨ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْمُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ كَالْبُنْيَانِ» يَشُدُّ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary
Just like the bricks of a structure which, when joined together, turn into a strong structure, the believers, together are also a strong fort where each member of the community is like a brick. They must, therefore, have the same relationship with each as the bricks have with one another in a structure in-as-much as each one of them aids and supports the other.
