If the person considered above, that is the common Muslim, acquire any other peculiarities, they become entitled to special rights. He has the following.
- Deal with him goodness and leniency.
- Protect the honour of his family.
- From time to time send him and his family gifts. You must help him with some food, if they are reduced to starvation.
- Do not cause him trouble and inconvenience, nor quarrel with him on small matters.
- The laws of the Shari"ah allow him preference over other in matters of sale and purchase. The learned men of Islam have said that there are two kinds of neighbours: the one who is living in your vicinity and the other with whom you happen ti travel from the very start or come across him by chance during the journey. In the tradition the former has been call a permanent neighbour, and the other are temporary neighbour. The both are entitled to equal rights. which may be summarised as under: prefer his comfort to your own instead of giving him trouble. as some passengers do during railway journeys. This very bad in deed.
