1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr and Muhammad ibn Yahya from al-Husayn ibn Ishaq from Ali ibn Mahziyar from Ali ibn Faddal from Fadalah ibn Ayyub all from Mu’awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from ‘Amr ibn ‘Akramah who has said the following: “Once I went in the presence of Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) and said to him, ‘My neighbor causes me suffering.’ The Imam said, ‘Be kind to him.’ I said, ‘I wish Allah will not grant him any kindness.’ The Imam turned away from me and I did not like to leave him and I said, ‘He does this and that to me and keeps causing me to suffer. ’ The Imam said, ‘Had you come openly against him could you defend your self sufficiently?’ I said, ‘Yes, I could certainly have the upper hand.’ The Imam said, ‘This is one of those who envy people for what Allah has granted them through His generosity. If he finds one enjoying bounties, he then turns his anguish against that person’s family, and if he did not have family, he turns against his servants, and if he did not have any servant he then remains sleepless for the whole night and spends the day in anguish and anger. ‘Once a man from Ansar (people of Madinah) came to the Messenger of Allah and said, “I have purchased a house in the neighborhood of such and such tribe. The nearest neighbor is as such that not only do I not have any hope for receiving any good from him, I do not feel safe from him also.” The Imam said that the Messenger of Allah commanded Ali (a.s.) Salman, abu Dharr and, I forgot the other one, 1 think he mentioned Miqdad, to announce in the Mosque at the top of their voices, “One from whose hands his neighbors are not safe has no belief and faith.” They announced it three times. He then pointed out that each forty house in front back, right and left are neighbors.’”

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Talhah ibn Zayd from abu ‘Abd Allah from his father (a.s.) who has said the following: “I have read in the book of Ali (a.s.) that the Messenger of Allah wrote (and got it signed) for the people of Ansar and Muhajirin and people related to them from Yathrib: ‘The neighbor is like one’s soul that cannot be harmed or made to sin. The respect for the neighbor is like the respect for one’s mother.’ This is the Hadith in brief.’” 

3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ حُسْنُ الْجِوَارِ يَزِيدُ فِي الرِّزْقِ.

3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from Isma’il ibn Mehran from Ibrahim ibn abu Raja’ from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Maintaining good neighborly relations increases one’s sustenance.” 

4ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنِ الْكَاهِلِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ يَعْقُوبَ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) لَمَّا ذَهَبَ مِنْهُ بِنْيَامِينُ نَادَى يَا رَبِّ أَ مَا تَرْحَمُنِي أَذْهَبْتَ عَيْنَيَّ وَأَذْهَبْتَ ابْنَيَّ فَأَوْحَى الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لَوْ أَمَتُّهُمَا لأحْيَيْتُهُمَا لَكَ حَتَّى أَجْمَعَ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُمَا وَلَكِنْ تَذْكُرُ الشَّاةَ الَّتِي ذَبَحْتَهَا وَشَوَيْتَهَا وَأَكَلْتَ وَفُلانٌ وَفُلانٌ إِلَى جَانِبِكَ صَائِمٌ لَمْ تُنِلْهُ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً.

4. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Asbat from h is uncle Ya’qub ibn Salim from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) saying, ‘When Benjamin also was taken away from Jacob, he pleaded before Allah for help, saying, “Have mercy on me. You have taken away my eyesight and my son.” Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, sent him inspiration, “Even if I will cause them to die I will give them life again for you so you will live with them, however, remember the sheep that you slaughtered, you and so and so used it for food and so and so in your neighborhood was fasting but he receive nothing from it.’”” 

5ـ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى قَالَ فَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَعْقُوبُ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يُنَادِي مُنَادِيهِ كُلَّ غَدَاةٍ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ عَلَى فَرْسَخٍ أَلا مَنْ أَرَادَ الْغَدَاءَ فَلْيَأْتِ إِلَى يَعْقُوبَ وَإِذَا أَمْسَى نَادَى أَلا مَنْ أَرَادَ الْعَشَاءَ فَلْيَأْتِ إِلَى يَعْقُوبَ.

5. From the previous chain:In another Hadith it is said that Jacob thereafter would announce around his home up to a distance of three miles every morning, “Whoever needs food, come to the house of Jacob” and in the evening also would announce, ‘Whoever needs dinner come to the house of Jacob.’” 

6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ جَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ (عليها السلام) تَشْكُو إِلَى رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) بَعْضَ أَمْرِهَا فَأَعْطَاهَا رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) كُرَيْسَةً وَقَالَ تَعَلَّمِي مَا فِيهَا فَإِذَا فِيهَا مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِالله وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلا يُؤْذِي جَارَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِالله وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِالله وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْراً أَوْ لِيَسْكُتْ.

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz from Zurara from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Once Fatimah (a.s.) came to the Messenger of Allah and complained about certain matters. The Messenger of Allah gave her a tablet to read. It was written on the tablet: ‘Whoever believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment must not cause suffering to his neighbor. Whoever believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment must treat his guest with honor. Whoever believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment must speak of good or remain silent.’” 

7ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) حُسْنُ الْجِوَارِ زِيَادَةٌ فِي الأعْمَارِ وَعِمَارَةُ الدِّيَارِ.
