Sahih Muslim 2624a (Book 45, Hadith 182) #13760
Kindness and Generosity towards Neighbors

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad was taught by Gabriel to be kind and generous to his neighbors.

'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger as saying: Gabriel impressed upon me (kind treatment) towards the neighbour (so much) that I thought as if he would confer upon him the (right) of inheritance.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، عَنِ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، - يَعْنِي الثَّقَفِيَّ - سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ - أَنَّ عَمْرَةَ، حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّهَا، سَمِعَتْ عَائِشَةَ، تَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مَا زَالَ جِبْرِيلُ يُوصِينِي بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ لَيُوَرِّثَنَّهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of being kind and generous to one’s neighbors. The Prophet Muhammad was taught by Gabriel that kindness towards one’s neighbor should be so great that it is almost as if they are inheriting something from them. This teaches us that we should treat our neighbors with respect, generosity, and kindness, just as we would treat our own family members. We should not only be polite but also help them out when needed, whether it is through providing a listening ear or offering assistance in times of need. By doing this, we can create strong relationships with those around us which will benefit both parties in the long run.
