Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ لِي جَارَيْنِ، فَإِلَى أَيِّهِمَا أُهْدِي قَالَ ‏"‏ إِلَى أَقْرَبِهِمَا مِنْكِ بَابًا ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Hajjaj narrated to us: Shuba narrated to us. Ali ibn Abdullah narrated to me: Shababa narrated to us: Shuba narrated to us: Abu Imran narrated to us; he said: I heard Talha ibn Abdullah, from Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: I said, “Messenger of Allah, I have two neighbors. To which of them should I give a gift?” He replied: “To the one whose door is nearer to you.”
