English translation

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "By Allah, he is not a believer! By Allah, he is not a believer! By Allah, he is not a believer." It was asked, "Who is that, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "One whose neighbour does not feel safe from his evil". [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. Another narration of Muslim is: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He will not enter Jannah whose neighbour is not secure from his wrongful conduct".

Sharh · explanationclick to expand

Guidance from the Hadith: 1) It is prohibited to transgress against a neighbor, neither by words like letting him hear what annoys or upsets him, nor by actions like throwing harmful stuff near his house and the like. 2) Refraining from causing harm to neighbors and transgressing against them is a sign of perfect faith. A guided person is the one who endeavors to perfect his faith. Words in the Hadith: ‘He is not a believer’ is a statement that denotes that such a person’s faith is imperfect.
