What It Means: Reading in Context

Abu Huraira reports this complete warning about harming neighbours. The source places it in a chapter on the prohibition of annoying one’s neighbour. It calls attention to one’s own conduct; this page does not pronounce judgment on any individual’s final fate. This entry comes from Sahih Muslim 46. The quoted wording is the English translation of the reported saying. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.

REFLECTION · EDITORIAL

Consider whether your noise, behaviour or use of shared space makes life harder for a neighbour. Put right a specific problem you can control.

This reflection is not Qur’an, hadith or an authoritative tafsir.
