عَنِ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي الزِّنَا قَالُوا حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ لَأَنْ يَزْنِيَ الرَّجُلُ بِعَشْرِ نِسْوَةٍ أَيْسَرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَزْنِيَ بِامْرَأَةِ جَارِهِ قَالَ فَمَا تَقُولُونَ فِي السَّرِقَةِ قَالُوا حَرَّمَهَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فَهِيَ حَرَامٌ قَالَ لَأَنْ يَسْرِقَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ عَشَرَةِ أَبْيَاتٍ أَيْسَرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْرِقَ مِنْ جَارِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdad bin Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his companions: "What do you say about adultery?" They said: "Allah Almighty and His Messenger have declared it forbidden, and it is forbidden until the Day of Resurrection." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "For a man to commit adultery with ten women is a lesser crime than committing adultery with his neighbor's wife." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Well, what is your opinion about theft?" They said: "Allah Almighty and His Messenger have declared it forbidden, so it is forbidden." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "For a man to steal from ten houses is a lesser crime than stealing from his neighbor's house."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … A neighbor has good expectations of his neighbor and assumes that his neighbor is a protector of his honor. On the other hand, Allah Ta’ala and His Messenger have stated many rights of the neighbor. When a person violates all these boundaries, then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam describes his crime as being even more than tenfold.
