Today's hadith · companionship

Jami' at-Tirmidhi 1944

Best companion, best neighbour

خَيْرُ الْأَصْحَابِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرُهُمْ لِصَاحِبِهِ، وَخَيْرُ الْجِيرَانِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرُهُمْ لِجَارِهِ

Khayru-l-ashabi inda-llahi khayruhum li-sahibih, wa khayru-l-jirani inda-llahi khayruhum li-jarih.

The best of companions in the sight of Allah is the one best to his companion, and the best of neighbours is the one best to his neighbour.

Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr.
