2335. It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahmân Al-A'rāj said: "I heard Abu Hurairah narrating that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'When anyone of you asks his neighbor for permission to fix a piece of wood to his wall, he should not refuse him.' When Abu Hurairah told them this, they lowered their heads, and when he saw them he said: 'Why do I see you turning away from it? By Allāh, I will force you to accept it.'" (Sahih)
2335 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنَ أَحَدَكُمْ جَارُهُ أَنْ يَغْرِزَ خَشَبَةً فِي جِدَارِهِ، فَلَا يَمْنَعْهُ» فَلَمَّا حَدَّثَهُمْ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ طَأْطَئُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ، قَالَ: «مَا لِي أَرَاكُمْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ، وَاللَّهِ لَأَرْمِيَنَّ بِهَا بَيْنَ أَكْتَافِكُمْ»

Thrusting wood into the wall means, either to fix a peg, or to place a beam etc., on the wall to put a roof on it. Linguistically the Arabic text translates as: 'Keep hitting it on the shoulders' and it means whether you like it or not I shall keep telling you the rule of Shari'ah and you will have to act upon it.
