A True And Loyal Friend
Shaykh Zayd Ibn Hādī Al-Madkhalī رحمه الله said:
"A true friend is one who helps his brother as much as he is able, even if it be just with a good and pleasant statement. And he advises him in regard to himself, and if he forgets (falls short) he reminds him in order to establish true friendship and especially in regard to the affairs of the religion and he presents good to him. All of this is from loyal friendship. As for the one who doesn't remind you when you forget (fall short in the religion), nor aids you when you are in need of him, then he has not fulfilled and established the rights of friendship, because he hasn't realised its worth or what loyalty entails.”
