إِذَا طَبَخْتَ مَرَقَةً فَأَكْثِرْ مَاءَهَا وَتَعَاهَدْ جِيرَانَكَ
Translation: When you cook broth, add a little more water and remember your neighbors.

Source: مسلم

طَبَخْتَ means “you cooked,” مَرَقَةً “broth,” فَأَكْثِرْ “increase,” and تَعَاهَدْ جِيرَانَكَ “remember and care for your neighbors.” جِيرَان is the plural of جَار, “neighbor.”

Goodwill toward neighbors need not be expensive. Making a little more food so a neighbor can share it builds connection. Such help should also respect the recipient’s dignity, privacy, and actual circumstances.
