The Bless of the Good Neighborhood
Good neighborhood is an obedience of Allah, it increases the means of
sustenance, makes the houses replete with children and prosperous, prolongs
life, is a sign of faith, increases the number of neighbors and servants, the
sanctity of the neighbor is equivalent to the sanctity of the mother.
Right of the Neighbor
Be treated with deference while present, his rights preserved while absent, made
victorious when injustice is done against him, his private parts covered when
they are seen, advice rendered to him in secret if he is prepared to accept it,
aid rendered to him in times of calamity, forgiveness of his mistakes, giving
him good company, rescue delivered to him when in danger, lending him money when
in need, congratulating him in happy occasions, visit paid to him when sick,
condolence paid to him when a misfortune befalls him, seeing him off to his
grave when he dies, refrain from building high rise stories if they block him
from the wind, send to him some of the fruits bought if he sees them, or be keen
not to let him see them when brining them secretly in, keep your son away from
teasing his son, be keen not to harm him by the good flavor of cooked food
unless some is sent to him or to his family.
