There are seven rights for any believer that are incumbent upon other believers to honor

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “There are seven rights for any believer that are incumbent upon other believers to honor. All seven are obligatory. If you do not honor any of these rights, you have left the domain of divine friendship, and God's obedience.”

 He was asked what these seven rights were. He replied: 

“The simplest right is that you should like for them what you like for yourself, and dislike for them what you dislike for yourself. 

The second right is that you must assist them in fulfilling their needs, please them and not oppose what they say. 

The third right is that you must use your soul, wealth, tongue, hands and feet to assist them. 

The fourth right is that you must be like their eyes, their guide, their mirror, and their clothing. 

The sixth right is that if you have a wife and a servant, and your brother does not, you must send your servant to his house to wash his clothes, prepare his food and make ready his bed. These are all established duties between you and him. 

The seventh right is that you must accept his oath and his invitation. You must attend his burial ceremonies. You should go to visit him if he gets ill, and make all efforts to fulfill his needs. You should not let him beg you for help, but immediately fulfill his needs. 

Once you do this, you have tied his friendship and yours together, and have tied your friendship to the Almighty God's friendship.”
