Sunan Abi Dawud 5153 (Book 43, Hadith 381) #25444
Patience & Tolerance with Neighbors

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) advised a man to be patient and tolerant with his neighbor, and if that did not work, to throw his property in the way so that people would know what was happening.

Abu Hurairah said : A man came to the prophet (May peace be upon him) complaining against his neighbor. He said: go and have patience. He again came to him twice or thrice. He then said : Go and throw your property in the way. So he threw his property in the way and the people began to ask him and he would tell them about him. The people then began to curse him; may Allah do with him so and so! Then his neighbor came to him and said: Return, you will not see from me anything which you dislike.
حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَبُو تَوْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ يَشْكُو جَارَهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اذْهَبْ فَاصْبِرْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَتَاهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اذْهَبْ فَاطْرَحْ مَتَاعَكَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَطَرَحَ مَتَاعَهُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَسْأَلُونَهُ فَيُخْبِرُهُمْ خَبَرَهُ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَلْعَنُونَهُ فَعَلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَفَعَلَ وَفَعَلَ فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ جَارُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ ارْجِعْ لاَ تَرَى مِنِّي شَيْئًا تَكْرَهُهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about patience and tolerance when dealing with neighbors. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised a man who was having trouble with his neighbor to have patience and tolerance first. If this did not work, he should throw his property in the way so that people would know what was happening. This would cause people to curse the neighbor, but it might also make him realize how wrong he was being and make him apologize for it. It teaches us that we should always try our best to be patient and tolerant when dealing with others, even if they are wronging us or causing us harm. We should also remember that Allah is watching over us all the time, so He will reward those who are patient in their dealings with others.
