The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: Many neighbours will hold the Daman [the lower part of a Qamees] of their neighbours on the Judgement Day. The oppressed neighbour will humbly say: Ya Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Ask him as he kept his door closed for me and prevented the things from me which were more than his need. (Kanz-ul-’Ummal, vol. 5, pp. 23, Juz: 9, Hadees 24894)

A person humbly said: O Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! So and so woman is discussed due to the abundance of her Salah, Sadaqah and Sawm, but she troubles her neighbours with her tongue. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: She is a Hell-dweller [Jahannami]. He again humbly asked: O Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! So and so woman is recognized due to the lack of Salah and Sawm and giving the pieces of cheese in Sadaqah and does not trouble her neighbours. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied: She is a heavenly person [Jannati]. (Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 3, pp. 441, Hadees 9681)

A person said to the Beloved and Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم: O Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! I am living in the neighbourhood at such and such tribe, but amongst them, the one who troubles me more is the nearest neighbour of mine. So the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم sent Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq and Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada        رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم. Standing at the door of the Masjid they started making this announcement loudly: Undoubtedly, 40 houses are included in the neighbourhood and if someone’s neighbour is terrified due to his evil, he will not enter Paradise. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 19, pp. 73, Hadees 143)

It is stated in another blessed Hadees: The one who hurts his neighbour, undoubtedly hurts me, and the one who hurts me, displeases Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. The one who quarrels with his neighbour quarrels with me and the one who quarrels with me undoubtedly quarrels with Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

(Kanz-ul-‘Ummal, vol. 5, pp. 25, Juz: 9, Hadees 24922)

Dear Islamic brothers! How destructive it is to trouble neighbours! Due to causing trouble to neighbours, a person gets deprived of Paradise and becomes deserving of Hell. Such a person annoys Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved
