Sahih al-Bukhari 6981 (Book 90, Hadith 28) #6711
Respect for Neighbors

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that neighbors should be taken care of and respected more than anyone else.

Narrated 'Amr bin Ash-Sharid: Abu Rafi' sold a house to Sa'd bin Malik for four-hundred Mithqal of gold, and said, "If I had not heard the Prophet saying, 'The neighbor has more right to be taken care of by his neighbor (than anyone else),' then I would not have sold it to you".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ، أَنَّ أَبَا رَافِعٍ، سَاوَمَ سَعْدَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ بَيْتًا بِأَرْبَعِمِائَةِ مِثْقَالٍ وَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ الْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِصَقَبِهِ ‏"‏‏.‏ مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of respecting and taking care of one's neighbors. It was narrated by 'Amr bin Ash-Sharid who reported that Abu Rafi' sold a house to Sa'd bin Malik for four hundred mithqals of gold. He said that if he hadn't heard the Prophet say "The neighbor has more right to be taken care of by his neighbor than anyone else," then he wouldn't have sold it to him. This hadith teaches us the importance of being kind and respectful towards our neighbors as they are closer to us than anyone else in terms of proximity and understanding. We should always strive to help them out when they need it and show them kindness whenever possible. We should also remember that our actions can have an effect on our relationships with those around us so we must always act with respect towards others in order to maintain good relations with them.
