Hadith 2624
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ ، عَنْ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ كلهم ، عَنْ يَحْيَي بْنِ سَعِيدٍ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ يَعْنِي الثَّقَفِيَّ ، سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَي بْنَ سَعِيدٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ ، أَنَّ عَمْرَةَ حَدَّثَتْهُ ، أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ عَائِشَةَ ، تَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَا زَالَ جِبْرِيلُ يُوصِينِي بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ لَيُوَرِّثَنَّهُ " .
'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Gabriel (ؑ) impressed upon me (kind treatment) towards the neighbour (so much) that I thought as if he would confer upon him the (right) of inheritance.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
In Islam, the neighbor has been given great importance, and various ranks and degrees have been assigned to neighbors. The treatment of each neighbor will be according to his status and rank:
One is simply a neighbor of the house,
but he is not a Muslim.
Another is both a neighbor and a Muslim.
He is of good character and is your well-wisher and sympathizer,
he is not your ill-wisher or enemy.
Another neighbor is both a Muslim and your relative.
One is a temporary neighbor, and another is a permanent and constant neighbor,
as has been indicated in the Qur’an itself, Surah An-Nisa, verse number 47.
