hadith 1656

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “There has never been a Prophet or a believer, and shall never be any, until the Resurrection Day who does not have a neighbor who bothers him.”

عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال

ما كان ولا يكون ولا هو كائن إلى يوم القيامة نبي ولا مؤمن إلا وله جار يؤذيه.

hadith 1658

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “A believer always has one or more of the following troubles. Either a person with whom he lives in the same house will close the door and not let him in, or there is a neighbor who will bother him, or someone will bother him on his way to work. Even if a believer lives on the top of a mountain, God will appoint a Satan to disturb him. God will establish a companion out of his own faith for him not to fear anyone.”

عنه (عليه السلام) قال

ما أفلت المؤمن من واحدة من ثلاث، ولربما اجتمعت الثلاث عليه: إما بغض من يكون معه في الدار يغلق عليه بابه ويؤذيه، أو جار يؤذيه، أو من في طريقه إلى حوائجه يؤذيه، ولو أن مؤمنا على قلة جبل لبعث الله إليه شيطانا يؤذيه، ويجعل الله له من إيمانه انسا لا يستوحش معه إلى أحد.

hadith 1666

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “A believer always suffers either from a neighbor who is jealous of him, or a Satan who beguiles him, or a hypocrite who always follows him, or a believer who is jealous of him.” Suma’eh asked: “May I be your devoted servant! A believer is jealous of him?” The Imam (a.s) replied: “Yes. Know that this is the worst of them all.” Suma’eh asked why. Then Imam Sadiq (a.s) replied: “Because he slanders and others acknowledge it.”

قال الصادق (عليه السلام): لا ينفك المؤمن من خصال أربع: من جار يؤذيه، وشيطان يغويه، ومنافق يقفو إثره، ومؤمن يحسده، قال سماعة: قلت: جعلت فداك مؤمن يحسده؟ قال: يا سماعة، أما إنه أشدهم عليه، قلت: وكيف ذلك؟ قال: لأنه يقول القول فيه فيصدق عليه.

hadith 1681

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “There has not been and will not be any Prophets or believers without a relative or a neighbor to hurt him. This is what is meant by the Almighty God's statement: “Thus have We made for every Prophet an enemy among the sinners.” [The Holy Quran: Furqan 25:31]

عنه (عليه السلام) قال

ما كان ولا يكون وليس بكائن نبي ولا مؤمن إلا وقد سلط عليه حميم يؤذيه، فإن لم يكن حميم فجار يؤذيه، وذلك قوله عز وجل: ﴿وكذلك جعلنا لكل نبي عدوا من المجرمين﴾.

hadith 1687

Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “A believer always has problems in his private life. Even if he is not married, he will have trouble with his close neighbors.”

عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال

إن المؤمن ابتلى بأهل بيته الخاصة، فإن لم يكن له أهل بيت فجاره الأدنى فالأدنى.
