356 and 440), from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. It also has a corroborating narration with the wording: “There will be, among the latter part of my ummah, ...” This has already been mentioned.

1327 — “If you hear your neighbours saying, ‘You have done well,’ then you have done well; and if you hear them saying, ‘You have done wrong,’ then you have done wrong.”

Al-Nasa’i narrated it in “A Session from the Dictations” (55/2): Ishaq ibn Ibrahim narrated to us: Abd al-Razzaq informed us: Ma‘mar narrated to us, from Mansur, from Abu Wa’il, from Abdullah, who said: A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, how can I know whether I have done well?” He said it. Al-Haytham ibn Kulayb also narrated it from Ahmad, who said: Abd al-Razzaq informed us of the same.

Al-Tabarani likewise narrated it (3/77/2) through Ishaq—namely, al-Dabari—and Ibn Hibban and al-Hakim declared it authentic, as I mentioned in al-Mishkat (4988).

Al-Nasa’i then narrated (56/2) a corroborating report from Abu Hurayrah, who said: A man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said, “O Messenger of Allah, guide me to a deed which, if I adhere to it, will admit me into Paradise; and do not give me too much to do.” He said, “Do not become angry.” Another man came to him and said, “O Prophet of Allah, guide me to a deed which, if I do it, will admit me into Paradise.” He said, “Be one who does good.” The man asked, “How will I know that I am one who does good?” He replied, “Ask your neighbours. If they say that you are one who does good, then you are one who does good; but if they say that you do wrong, then you are one who does wrong.”

1328 — “When you hear the caller summon to prayer, say as he says.”

Ahmad narrated it (3/438) through Ibn Lahi‘ah: Zaban narrated to us, from Sahl ibn Mu‘adh, from his father, from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, who said it.

I say: This is a weak chain of transmission because of Ibn Lahi‘ah and Zaban, for both are weak. However, the hadith is authentic, since it has corroborating reports. One of them is found in the two Sahihs and elsewhere, from Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri, attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with similar wording. I have documented it in Sahih Abi Dawud (535).

Tathwib means calling people to prayer, as stated in al-Qamus. Thus, it includes both the adhan and the iqamah.
