Jibril kept counseling me about the neighbor
مَا زَالَ جِبْرِيلُ يُوصِينِي بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيُوَرِّثُهُ
Meaning
Jibril kept counseling me about the neighbor until I thought he would make him an inheritor.
Note for parents
Teach your child to honor neighbors as family. Greet them in passing. Bring food when you've cooked extra. A child raised among known neighbors has a 'family' larger than their own household.
