3672. It was narrated from Abu Shuraih Al-Khuzâ'i that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever believes in Allâh and the Last Day, let him treat his neighbor well. Whoever believes in Allâh and the Last Day, let him honor his guest. Whoever believes in Allâh and the Last Day, let him say something good or else remain silent." (Sahih)

Arabic text

3672 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، سَمِعَ نَافِعَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ، يُخْبِرُ عَنْ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ الْخُزَاعِيِّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ، فَلْيُحْسِنْ إِلَى جَارِهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ، فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ، وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ، فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَسْكُتْ»

Commentary

a. A partner of a business, a nearby shopkeeper in a market, an office friend or a classmate, a roommate in a hostel, or a student living in the same building, or a co-worker in a factory and the like, are all considered neighbors. b. Honoring a guest means preparing for him a dish other than the usual dish, taking care of his rest and comfort and not showing displeasure on his arrival and the like. c. Controlling one's tongue leads to the remembrance of Allāh, recitation of the Qur'ān and the like, and helps one do more good deeds.
