عن أبي شريح رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال والله لا يؤمن والله لا يؤمن والله لا يؤمن قيل ومن يا رسول الله قال الذي لا يأمن جاره بوايقه (صحيح البخاري، الرقم: 6016)

Hazrat Abu Shuraih (radhiyallahu anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, “I take an oath on Allah Ta’ala, he can never be a perfect believer, I take an oath on Allah Ta’ala, he can never be a perfect believer, I take an oath on Allah Ta’ala, he can never be a perfect believer. A Sahaabi enquired: “O Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), who are you referring to?” Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) replied, “The one whose neighbour is not safe from his harm and evil.” (i.e. he causes inconvenience to his neighbour through his words or actions).
