What he paid for the shade he enjoyed, Islamic Stories

Ibnul Muqaffa (may Allahhave mercy on him) usedto sit frequently in
the shadow of his neighbour's wall. He came to know that the neighbour
was in heavy debt and was about to sell his house to pay the debt. He
said that he always enjoyed the shadow of the neighbour's wall and
didnot pay anything for that; so, he presented to the neighbour the
price of his house and told him that, since he had received the price,
he should not sell it. Source:"Fadhail-e-Sadaqaa Part I" translated by
Prof. Abdul Karim.
Let us be good to our neighbours. The best way to treat them wouldbe
to bring them closer to Allah in a humble manner.
