                             sale to another, don't dispute with one another and don't back-bite
                             one another. The servants of Allah are brethren to one another." 175

                             tred. Hatred is shaving. You will not enter Paradise till you believe.
                             You will not believe till you love one another. Shall I not inform you
                             what thing will establish you on it? Spread peace among you."  176
