 Hadeeth No 3 [Manner of speaking and
respect for neighbor & guest]

Let him who believes in Allah and the Last Day

either speak good or keep silent, and let him
who believes in Allah and the Last Day be
generous to his neighbour, and let him who
believes in Allah and the Last Day be generous
to his guest. Al Bhukahri. [Book:84 ( Kitaab
ur Riqqaaq) Chapter 23][ Narrator: ]
Muslim believes
 Perfection of Emaan
 Usage of tongue in life: In another Marfooh
Hadith of Imam Abu Hanifa [Ra] narrated by
Imam Bayhaqi [Ra] in his book Shib ul Emaan it
is mention that the Prophet [S] was once asked
that which deed is beloved by Allah? The
Prophet [S] said that proper usage of the
tongue. Allah Mentioned in holy Quran in Surah

Page | 8
 Qaaf: “He [i.e., man] utters no word except that with him is
an observer prepared [to record].”
According to Hasan Basri [Ra] and Qataadh
[Ra] the observer mentioned in the verse is an
angel, who keeps the record of every word
uttered by the person. According to Abdullah
ibn Abbas [RA] the angel only keeps the
record of the words having reward or
punishment.

Respect for Neighbour:

Helping and caring the neighbours is the sign/ hallmark
of emaan. Narrated by ibna Umar and Aaisha [RA] the
Prophet [S] said that Jibrail [AS] adviced about the
neighbours so much that I thought that he may be
giving the share in the inheritance.
Allah said in Quran, “Worship Allah and associate
nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to
relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the
neighbor farther away, the companion at your side,
the traveler, and those whom your right hands
possess...”
There are three categories of neighbours:
1. Non- Muslim Neighbors

Page | 9
 2. Muslim Neighbors
3. Neighbors having relationship of blood
Some of the Rights of neighbours according to
teachings of Islam are as follow:
1. Never hurt your neignbours verbally or physically.
2. Always help morally and physically as well as
financially if he is in need of it, guide him in the
matters of this world and hereafter and takecare of
your neighbours if he becomes sick. Greet him
when ever he meets, be polite with him and his
children, takecare of his belongings in his absence,
overlooks his mistakes and always avoid making
difficulties and hardles for him.
3. Sending gifts on different occasions it will increase
love among the neighbours and if the neighbor
sends any type of gift then don’t undervalue it in
any case and wholeheartedly accept it with thanks.
If he invites for meal accept his invitation.
4. Always give preference to your neighbor in
different worldly affairs such as selling the piece of
land or renting out any property etc.
5. In case of bad neighbor, a muslim should show
patience and hope for good and try to handle such
neighbor according to the rules and laws of society
while involving the authorities.

 Serving the Guests
1.Always welcome and well treat the guest.
2.Duration of being guest is for three days.
So a Muslim should serve his guest in best
possible way. This serving will be
considered as gift.
3.After three days it depends on the host
how to serve his guest. Serving after three
days will be considered as charity/Sadqaah.
Narrated Abu Shuraih Al-Ka`bi: Allah's
Apostle said, whoever believes in
Allah and the Last Day, should serve
his guest generously. The guest's
reward is: To provide him with a
superior type of food for a night and a
day and a guest is to be entertained
with food for three days, and
whatever is offered beyond that, is
regarded as something given in
charity. And it is not lawful for a guest
to stay with his host for such a long
period so as to put him in a critical
position.[ Bukhari Hadith # 6135]
4.If a Muslim wants to invite someone as
guest then he must invite pious and good
people as his guest. In a hadith the Prophet
[S] advised his followers that he should try
to adopt the company of honest people
and he should offer his meal to pious
people.

 5.When ever a Muslim arranges meal on
larger scale he should also invite the poor
and needy people of his surroundings.
6.While arranging the feast for the people a
Muslim must make his intention to follow
the Sunnah of Prophets and to get the
plessure of Almighty Allah instead of
showing pride/his status or getting fame.
