Rashi on Shabbat
Do not do that which is hateful to your fellow - 'Do not forsake your fellow or your father's fellow' (Proverbs 27:10) This refers to the Holy Blessed One. Do not disobey His commandments, for it is hateful unto you when a friend disobeys yours. To put it another way: 'Your fellow', literally, in the cases of thievery, kidnapping, sexual impropriety, and the majority of the commandments.
