Abu Hurayra said, "Do not begin with your more distant neighbours before
the closer ones. Rather begin with your nearest neighbours before the most
distant ones."
Al-Hasan was asked about the neighbour and said, "The term 'neighbour'
includes the forty houses in front a person, the forty houses behind him,
the forty houses on his right and the forty houses on his left."
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!"'"
