Mujahid said, "I was with 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr while his slave was skinning
a sheep. He said, 'Boy! When you finish, start with the Jewish neighbour.'
A man there exclaimed, 'Jewish? May Allah correct you!' He replied, 'I heard
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, recommend
that we treat our neighbours well until we feared (or we thought) that he
would order us to make them our heirs.'"
Thawban said, "When two men cut each other off for more than three days
and one of them dies, then they both die while relations between them are
severed and both of them are destroyed. There is no man who wrongs his neighbour
to the extent that he forces him until he makes him leave his home who is
not destroyed."
حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُهَيْرٍ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَغْرَاءَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُبَشِّرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَسْتَعْدِيهِ عَلَى جَارِهِ، فَبَيْنَا هُوَ قَاعِدٌ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَرَآهُ الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ مُقَاوِمٌ رَجُلاً عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابٌ بَيَاضٌ عِنْدَ الْمَقَامِ حَيْثُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى الْجَنَائِزِ، فَأَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَنِ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُ مَعَكَ مُقَاوِمَكَ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابٌ بِيضٌ؟ قَالَ: أَقَدْ رَأَيْتَهُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا، ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَسُولُ رَبِّي، مَا زَالَ يُوصِينِي بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ جَاعِلٌ لَهُ مِيرَاثًا.
Jabir said, "A man came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, to complain to him about the enmity of his neighbour. While he
was sitting between the Corner and the Maqam, the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, approached with a man who was wearing a white garment.
They went to the Maqam where they were praying for the dead. He went up to
the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'May my mother
and my father be your ransom, Messenger of Allah! Who is this man I see with
you wearing the white garment?' 'You saw him?' he asked. 'Yes,' the man replied.
He said, 'Then you have seen much good. That was Jibril, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, the Messenger of my Lord. He kept on recommending
that I treat my neighbours well until I thought that he would order me to
make them my heirs.'"
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ الأَوْدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ قَالَ: شَكَا رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم جَارَهُ، فَقَالَ: احْمِلْ مَتَاعَكَ فَضَعْهُ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ، فَمَنْ مَرَّ بِهِ يَلْعَنُهُ، فَجَعَلَ كُلُّ مَنْ مَرَّ بِهِ يَلْعَنُهُ، فَجَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: مَا لَقِيتُ مِنَ النَّاسِ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ لَعْنَةَ اللهِ فَوْقَ لَعْنَتِهِمْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلَّذِي شَكَا: كُفِيتَ أَوْ نَحْوَهُ.
Abu Juhayfa said, "A man complained to the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, about his neighbour. The Prophet said, 'Take your
bags and put them in the road and whoever passes them will curse him.' Everyone
who passed him began to curse that neighbour. Then he went to the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'How many people I met!'
He said, 'The curse of Allah is on top of their curse!' Then he told the
one who had complained, 'You have enough,' or words to that effect."
