حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، قَالَ لَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ أَلاَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَشْيَاءَ، قِصَارٍ حَدَّثَنَا بِهَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الشُّرْبِ مِنْ فَمِ الْقِرْبَةِ أَوِ السِّقَاءِ، وَأَنْ يَمْنَعَ جَارَهُ أَنْ يَغْرِزَ خَشَبَهُ فِي دَارِهِ.

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 5627
This Hadith joins two short teachings. First, Allah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) forbade drinking directly from the mouth of a water skin or other leather containers. Second, he forbade preventing a neighbor from fixing a peg in the wall of one’s house. The core topic can be read as neighbor rights with drinking etiquette included. The Hadith shows that Islamic manners cover both private habits and social dealings. A person should not be careless with a shared drink container, and he should not block a neighbor from a simple need mentioned in the report. This Hadith about neighbor rights is practical because it deals with normal home life, not only mosque worship.
What we learn from this hadith
- Do not drink directly from a water skin or leather container.
- A neighbor should not be blocked from fixing a peg as mentioned in the Hadith.
- Islamic manners include both personal hygiene and social fairness.
- Short teachings can cover more than one daily-life issue.
