Riyad as-Salihin, 310

'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:

I said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), I have two neighbours, to which of them should I send a present?" He (ﷺ) replied, "To the one whose door is nearer to you". <b>[Al-Bukhari]</b>

وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت‏:‏ قلت‏:‏ يارسول الله إن لي جارين، فإلى أيهما أُهْدِي‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏

‏ إلى أقربهما منك بابًا‏

‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) advised Muslims to be considerate of the nearest neighbors.<br> 2) The nearer a neighbor is, the greater his right over his neighbor is. Nearness referred to here is the nearness of the house doors to each other.<br> 3) The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were keen on learning knowledge before doing the deeds. This is the state of the guided slaves: they learn, then they act upon what they have learned.
