Neighboring is highly recommended in Islam, as Imam Ali said that the Prophet ordered the neighbor in such a way that I thought that the neighbor inherits from the neighbor. In this article we would like to point out an example of Imam Hassan’s kindness.
A Jewish family lived in the neighborhood of Imam Hassan Mojtabi (pbuh). The wall of the Jewish house had a crack and impurity had penetrated from his house to the Imam’s house. The Jewish man found out about this happening. One day, a Jewish woman went to the Imam’s house to ask for a need and saw that the crack in the wall caused the wall (side) of the Imam’s house to become impure.
Immediately, she went to her husband and informed him. The Jewish man came to the Imam and apologized for his negligence and was ashamed that the Imam was silent and did not say anything during this time. In order not to embarrass him more, Imam said: “I heard from my grandfather that the Messenger of God (PBUH) said to be kind to your neighbor.”
By seeing his pleasant treatment and forbearance, the Jew returned to his home, took the hands of his wife and child, and came to the Imam and asked him to convert them to Islam.
