Chapter: Eman and Loving Your Brother

It is narrated on the authority of Anas b. Malik that the Prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) observed:
"None amongst you believes (truly) until he loves for his brother" - or he said "for his neighbour" - "that which he loves for himself."

Benefits taken from Imaam an-Nawawi:
-loving for your brother means loving for him acts of obedience or having the good of what is Mubaah.
-Ibn Salaah states that this is easy to perfect for the one who doesn't seek to reduce the favours of his brothers, so it's easy for the one who has a clean heart but difficult for the one who has a heart which is tainted.

[Sharh Muslim 2/21-22]

And Allah Knows Best
