It is narrated from Abayah bin Rifa'ah that it reached Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) built a palace, he said: "Now the noise (of the common people), al-suwayt, has been cut off." So he sent Muhammad bin Maslamah to him (and he mentioned the hadith), and at its end it states that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I disliked to give you an order (of that kind) in which there would be ease for you and hardship for me, while around me the people of Madinah have been exhausted by hunger; and I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: 'A man does not eat his fill while leaving out his neighbour.'"

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have two neighbours; with which of them should I begin (in giving gifts)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one whose door is nearer to you."

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have two neighbours; to which of them should I give a gift?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one whose door is nearer to you." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), because Talhah bin Abdullah bin Awf is among the narrators whose narrations the two Shaykhs agreed upon.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will not be believers until you love one another. Shall I not tell you of something by which you will come to love one another?" The Companions said: "Certainly, O Messenger of Allah!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Spread the greeting of salam among yourselves and love will arise among you. By the One in whose Hand is my soul! You will not enter Paradise until you show mercy to one another." The Companions said: "O Messenger of Allah! All of us are merciful." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is meant is not only your own (particular) mercy, but mercy to the people at large, mercy to the people at large." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
