Chapter: The Right of the Neighbor
Hadith 103
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ظَبْيَةَ الْكَلاَعِيَّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ الأَسْوَدِ يَقُولُ: سَأَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَصْحَابَهُ عَنِ الزِّنَا؟ قَالُوا: حَرَامٌ، حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، فَقَالَ: ”لأَنْ يَزْنِيَ الرَّجُلُ بِعَشْرِ نِسْوَةٍ، أَيْسَرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَزْنِيَ بِامْرَأَةِ جَارِهِ“، وَسَأَلَهُمْ عَنِ السَّرِقَةِ؟ قَالُوا: حَرَامٌ، حَرَّمَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَرَسُولُهُ، فَقَالَ: ”لأَنْ يَسْرِقَ مِنْ عَشَرَةِ أَهْلِ أَبْيَاتٍ، أَيْسَرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْرِقَ مِنْ بَيْتِ جَارِهِ.“
Narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdad bin Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked his companions about the (seriousness) of adultery. They said: It is forbidden; Allah Almighty and His Messenger have declared it forbidden. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If a man commits adultery with ten women, it is not as grave a sin as committing adultery with the wife of his neighbor." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked them about theft. They said: Theft is forbidden; Allah the Exalted and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) have declared it forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If a man steals from ten houses, it is less severe than stealing from the house of his neighbor (and its sin is greater)."
