Narrated It is reported that Abu Dharr said, "My dear friend, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, enjoined three things on me:
'Hear and obey, even
if the ruler is a slave with his limbs amputated. When you cook a stew, put
a lot of water in it and then go and see the people of a neighbouring house
and give them a reasonable amount of it. Pray the prayers at their proper
prayers. Then if you find that the imam has already prayed, you have guarded
your prayer (by already having performed it). If not, it is a supererogatory
prayer (since you have done it again)."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي بَشِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُسَاوِرِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يُخْبِرُ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: لَيْسَ الْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي يَشْبَعُ وَجَارُهُ جَائِعٌ.
Ibn 'Abbas informed Ibn az-Zubayr, "I heard the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, say, 'He is not a believer whose stomach is filled while his neighbor goes hungry.'"
Abu Dharr reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Abu Dharr! If you cook some stew, make a lot of it and fulfil
your duty to your neighbours (or divide it among your neighbours)."
Ibn 'Umar said, "There was a time when no one was more entitled to a
person's money than his Muslim brother. Now people love their dirhams and
dinars more than their Muslim brother. I heard the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, say, 'How many a neighbour will be brought together
with his neighbour on the Day of Rising! He will say, "Lord, this man closed
his door to me and refused to show me common kindness!"'"
