Six Rights of a Muslim upon a Muslim
حَقُّ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ سِتٌّ قِيلَ مَا هُنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِذَا لَقِيتَهُ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا دَعَاكَ فَأَجِبْهُ وَإِذَا اسْتَنْصَحَكَ فَانْصَحْ لَهُ وَإِذَا عَطَسَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ فَشَمِّتْهُ وَإِذَا مَرِضَ فَعُدْهُ وَإِذَا مَاتَ فَاتَّبِعْهُ

Translation
Abu Huraira (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The rights of the Muslim upon the Muslim are six.' It was said: 'What are they, O Messenger of Allah?' He ﷺ said: 'When you meet him, greet him with salaam; when he invites you, accept his invitation; when he seeks your advice, give him sincere advice; when he sneezes and praises Allah, say yarhamukallah; when he is sick, visit him; and when he dies, follow his funeral.'
