The Noble Shaykh Saalih Aal Ash-Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) mentioned some of the rights of brotherhood:

The first right: That he loves his brother for the sake of Allah and not for a worldly motive.

The second right: That the brother puts forward financial and physical aid for his brother.

The third right: The preserving of honor. There are outward (actions that one does) for the fulfillment of this right: being quiet, not mentioning the faults (of your brother), and not getting detailed with him when you ask a question. Preserve his secrets.

The fourth right: Keep away from having bad thought about your brother.

The fifth right: Keeping away from arguing and debating with your brothers. There are reasons for argumentation: he outwardly displays that he has not submitted to the point of view (of his brother); having the desire to be victorious (over his brother); not being careful regarding the slips of the tongue.

The sixth right: Using the tongue for (aid) of you brother. This are outward (signs for it): don’t be stingy with your tongue; thanking him for that which he put forth (of good); that you mention him in a good manner outside of his presence.

The seventh right: Pardoning of the mistakes.

The eighth right: Being happy with that which Allah has given him of wealth, knowledge, religion, and uprightness.

The ninth right. That there be mutual cooperation between you and your brother in that which is good and upright.

The tenth right: That there should be between the companions of the more intimate brotherhood both counsel (with one another) and harmony.
