عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رضي اللَّه عنهمَا، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَا زَالَ جِبْرِيلُ يُوصِينِي بِالْجَارِ، حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيُوَرِّثُهُ»


‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar narrated that God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said:

Gabriel continued to urge kindness to my neighbour, until I thought that he would give him a share of inheritance.
