Hadith O Messenger of Allah, I have two neighbors, so which one of them should I give a gift to? He said: The one whose door is the nearest to you

عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: يا رسولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ لِي جَارَيْنِ، فإلى أَيِّهِمَا أُهْدِي؟ قال: «إلى أَقْرَبِهِمَا مِنْكِ بَابًا».

‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that she said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have two neighbors, so which one of them should I give a gift to?" He said: "The one whose door is the nearest to you."

Authentic hadith Narrated by Bukhari

Explanation

‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him): I have two neighbors, and I have been ordered to be generous to neighbors in general, but I cannot afford to give a gift to both of them at the same time. So which one should I give a gift to so as to be considered from those who are generous to neighbors? he said: The one whose door is the nearest to you.
