He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, made harming the neighbor a cause of incurring the curse of Allah and the people

Abu Hurayrah narrated that a man came to the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, to complain about his neighbor, so the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, would tell him: “Go and be patient.” This happened two or three times. The last time, the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, told him: “Go and put all of your possessions in the street,” and the man did so. When the people passed by him and asked why everything was in the street, he would tell them. The people started cursing his neighbor, saying: “May Allah do such and such to him (punish him)!” His neighbor came to the man apologizing, and said: “Return everything and you will never see anything you dislike from me after today.”

In another narration, the neighbor came to the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, saying: “O Messenger of Allah, what a thing I am facing from the people!” The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “What are they doing?” He said: “They are cursing me.” The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “Allah has cursed you before the people did.” The man said: “I will never go back (to my old ways.)” The man who complained about his neighbor came to the Prophet of Allah, so he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, told him: “Put your things back in your home, for you have been sufficed.”
