Hadith 7 of 42
Title
Religion is sincere advice
Arabic
الدِّينُ النَّصِيحَةُ. قُلْنَا: لِمَنْ؟ قَالَ: لِلَّهِ وَلِكِتَابِهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِأَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَامَّتِهِمْ.
Translation
The religion is naṣīḥah (sincere advice). We asked: to whom? He said: to Allah, to His Book, to His Messenger, to the leaders of the Muslims, and to their common folk.

Commentary
Naṣīḥah means wanting good for the other and acting on it. Nawawī quoted this as a stand-alone axis of the religion — faith is not a private matter, it is oriented outward toward five relationships.
