Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I not tell you of an action whose rank is greater than prayer, fasting, and charity? The people said: Certainly. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Reconciling between people; and creating discord among them destroys (good deeds).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Reconciling between Muslims is a permissible act.

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) that two men from the Ansar brought a case of inheritance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), while the traces of that inheritance had disappeared and they had no evidence. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I am also a human being. You bring your disputes to me for judgment. It is possible that one of you, being more familiar with the intricacies of his argument, presents it in a better way, and then I decide in his favor based on what I hear. (So listen:) If I decide in favor of someone, granting him a right that belongs to his brother, then he should not take it, for in such a case I am cutting off a piece of Hellfire for him, and on the Day of Resurrection, he will come with it blazing on his neck. Upon hearing this, both of them began to weep, and each said: My right is for my brother. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Now that you are saying this, then go and divide it in such a way that you seek the truth, then draw lots, and each of you should forgive his brother.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever has wronged his brother in regard to his wealth or honor, let him seek his forgiveness from him before the time comes when he will be held accountable, for on that day there will be no dinar or dirham. If he has good deeds, they will be taken from him and given to the one he wronged; and if he has no good deeds, the sins of the wronged person will be cast upon him.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever kills intentionally, he shall be handed over to the heirs of the slain; if they wish, they may kill him, and if they wish, they may take blood money. And the detail of the blood money is: thirty hiqqahs, thirty jadha’ahs, and forty pregnant she-camels. This is the blood money for intentional murder, and in addition to this, whatever is agreed upon in reconciliation is also included. This is the severe blood money.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No person should prevent his (neighbor) brother from placing something beneficial, i.e., (wood or the like) on the wall.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No person should prevent his neighbor from placing a beam or the like in his wall.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If any of you has a neighbor who seeks permission to drive a piece of wood into his wall, he should not prevent him. When Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this hadith to the people, they lowered their heads. Seeing this, Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It seems to me that you are turning away from this command. By Allah! I will drive that piece of wood into your shoulders.

It is narrated from ‘Ikrimah bin Salamah that there were two brothers from Banu Mughira. One of them swore an oath to free a slave and said that he would not allow his neighbor to place a beam in his wall. Then, when both of them met Sayyiduna Majma‘ bin Yazid Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) and several Companions, they said: We testify that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A neighbor should not prevent his neighbor from placing a beam or the like in his wall. Upon hearing this, the one who had sworn the oath said: O my brother! I have realized that this decision will be against me and in your favor, while I have also sworn an oath. Now, you may build a pillar next to my wall. So he did so, and then placed wood on the pillar. ‘Amr said to me: I had seen this thing.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you disagree about the road, then leave seven hand-spans and build the buildings, and whoever asks his neighbor to allow him to place a beam on his wall, he should let him place it.
