Show consideration and respect for your neighbours by not prohibiting them from doing anything small such as placing a peg in their wall.

This hadith encourages us to show consideration and respect for our neighbours. It is narrated that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “No one should prohibit his neighbour from placing a peg in his wall”. The Arabic words used here are ‘Istiḥdār’ which means to place something, and ‘Jirānah’ which means a peg or nail. By this statement, the Prophet ﷺ was teaching us that we should not stop our neighbours from doing something small like putting up a peg on their wall if it does not cause any harm or inconvenience to us. We should always try to be considerate of others around us, even if it is something small like this example given by the Prophet ﷺ.
