Be kind to your neighbour
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
Abu Shuraih Al-Khuza`i (May ALLAH be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "He who believes in ALLAH and the Last Day, let him be kind to his neighbor;…".
[Muslim].
[The full version of the Hadith is as follows; Abu Shuraih Al-Khuza`i (May ALLAH be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "He who believes in ALLAH and the Last Day, let him be kind to his neighbour; and he who believes in ALLAH and the Last Day, let him show hospitality to his guest; and he who believes in ALLAH and the Last Day, let him either speak good or remain silent".
[Muslim].]
From the perfection of a person's faith is his showing kindness to those with whom he has dealings, especially his neighbors.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) emphasized the right of the neighbor.

In the name of ALLAH, he is not a believer, In the Name of ALLAH, he is not a believer, In the Name of ALLAH, he is not a believer. They asked him, who is he O Messenger of ALLAH! He said: It is he whose neighbor is not safe of him. [Agreed]
• The rights of the neighbour is that, when he is sick you visit him; when he dies, you go to his funeral; when he is poor you lend him (money); when he is in need you protect him; when he is in happiness you congratulate him; when he is struck with a calamity, you condole him; don't raise your building above his to cut off the wind from him; don't harm him with the good smell of your food unless you let him have part of it. [Tabarani]

• The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “None of you should prevent his neighbor from placing his rafter in his wall.” [ Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim ]
ALLAH says: “Worship ALLAH and associate nothing with Him, and show kindness to parents, relatives, orphans, the poor, the near neighbor, the distant neighbor, the companion at your side, the traveler, and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, ALLAH does not like those who are conceited and boastful.” [ Sûrah al-Nisâ' : 36]
