He will say, "Lord, this man closed his door to me and refused to show me common kindness!"'"

    My dear friend ﷺ enjoined three things on me: (1) Hear and obey, even if the ruler is a slave with his limbs amputated. (2) When you cook a stew, put an additional water in it and then go and see the people of a neighboring house and give them a reasonable amount of it. (3) Pray the prayers at their proper times ˹and not delay them to pray in congregation˺. ˹You should still go to the masjid and˺ then if you find that the imam has already prayed, you have guarded your prayer. If not, ˹then pray along with the congregation a second time and˺ it will be a nafl (extra) prayer for you.

    ✧ From the Messenger of God ﷺ that he said, "The best companions in the sight of God, may He be exalted, are those who are best to their companion, and the best neighbours in the sight of God, may He be exalted, are those who are best to their neighbour."

    'Umara ibn Ghurab reported that an aunt of his told him that she asked 'A'isha, Umm al-Mu'minin, "If a woman's husband desires her and she refuses to give herself to him either because she is angry or not eager, is there anything wrong in that?" "Yes," she replied. "Part of his right over you is that if he desires you when you are on a saddle, you must not refuse him." She said, "I also asked her, 'If one of us is menstruating and she and her husband only have a single cover, what should she do?' She replied, 'She should wrap her wrapper around her and sleep with him. He can have what is above it. I will tell you what the Prophet ﷺ did on one of his nights with me. I had cooked some barley and made loaf for him. He came in, stopped at the door, and then went into the mosque. When he wanted to sleep, he closed the door, tied up the waterskin, turned the cup over and put out the light. I waited for him and he ate the loaf. He did not go until I fell asleep. Later he felt the cold and came and got me up. "Warm me! Warm me!" he said. I said, "I am menstruating." He said, "Then uncover your thighs," so I uncovered my thighs and he put his cheek and head on my thighs until he was warm. Then a pet sheep belonging to our neighbour came in. I went and took the load away. I disturbed the Prophet ﷺ and he woke up, so I chased the sheep to the door. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Take what you got of your loaf and do not injure your neighbour's sheep."'"

    ✧ A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have a neighbour who harms me." He said: "Go and put your belongings out on the road." So he went and put his belongings out, and people gathered around him and asked: "What is the matter with you?" He said: "I have a neighbour who harms me, and I mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: 'Go and put your belongings out on the road.'" So they began to say: "O Allah, curse him; O Allah, disgrace him." This reached the neighbour, and he came to him and said: "Go back to your home, for by Allah I will not harm you."

  25. Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 125Hasan or sahih

    عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ قَالَ شَكَا رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ جَارَهُ فَقَالَ احْمِلْ مَتَاعَكَ فَضَعْهُ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ فَمَنْ مَرَّ بِهِ يَلْعَنُهُ فَجَعَلَ كُلُّ مَنْ مَرَّ بِهِ يَلْعَنُهُ فَجَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا لَقِيتُ مِنَ النَّاسِ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لَعْنَةَ اللهِ فَوْقَ لَعْنَتِهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلَّذِي شَكَا كُفِيتَ أَوْ نَحْوَهُ

    ✧ From Abu Juḥayfah, who said: A man complained to the Prophet ﷺ about his neighbour. He said: "Carry your belongings and place them on the road, and whoever passes by him will curse him." So everyone who passed by him cursed him. Then he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "What I have met from the people!" He said: "Indeed, the curse of Allah is above their curse." Then he said to the one who complained: "You have been sufficed," or something similar.

    ✧ I heard Jābir say: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ seeking his help against his neighbour. While he was sitting between the corner [of the Kaʿbah] and the Station [of Ibrāhīm], suddenly the Prophet ﷺ approached, and the man saw him while he was standing with a man wearing white garments at the Station, where they pray over the funeral biers. The Prophet ﷺ came forward, and [the man] said: "May my father and mother be ransom for you, O Messenger of Allah, who is the man I saw with you, standing with you, wearing white garments?" He said: "Did you see him?" He said: "Yes." He said: "You have seen much good. That was Jibrīl ﷺ, the messenger of my Lord.

And no neighbour wrongs his neighbour and oppresses him until that forces him to leave his home, except that he is destroyed."
