Jami at-Tirmidhi 1943 (Book 27, Hadith 49) #27576
Kindness and Generosity towards Neighbors

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was advised by Jibril to be kind and generous to his neighbors, so much so that he thought Jibril would order him to make them heirs.

Mujahid narrated: "Abdullah bin Amr had a sheep slaughtered for his family, so when he came he said: 'Have you given some to our neighbor, the Jew? Have you given some to our neighbor, the Jew? I heard the Messenger of Allah saying: 'Jibril continued to advise me about (treating) the neighbors so (kindly and politely), that I thought he would order me (from Allah) to make them heirs".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ شَابُورَ، وَبَشِيرٍ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، ذُبِحَتْ لَهُ شَاةٌ فِي أَهْلِهِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ قَالَ أَهْدَيْتُمْ لِجَارِنَا الْيَهُودِيِّ أَهْدَيْتُمْ لِجَارِنَا الْيَهُودِيِّ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مَا زَالَ جِبْرِيلُ يُوصِينِي بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيُوَرِّثُهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَنَسٍ وَالْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ وَعُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ وَأَبِي شُرَيْحٍ وَأَبِي أُمَامَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ أَيْضًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of being kind and generous towards one's neighbors. It is narrated by Mujahid from Abdullah bin Amr, who had a sheep slaughtered for his family. When he came back, he asked if they had given some of it to their neighbor, the Jew. This shows how important it was for him to be generous with his neighbor even when there wasn't much food available for himself and his family. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also heard Jibril advising him on how important it was to treat one's neighbors kindly and politely, so much so that he thought Jibril would order him from Allah to make them heirs! This shows us just how important it is in Islam for us all to be kind and generous with our neighbors no matter what our circumstances are like or what religion they may follow. We should always strive to show kindness towards those around us as this will bring peace into our lives as well as theirs!
