Summary
The hadith is authentic and was narrated by al-Bukhari in al-Adab al-Mufrad. It lists a spacious home, a righteous neighbour and a good mount as among the signs of a person's happiness. According to al-Munawi, the spaciousness of a home varies with a person's circumstances, since some large houses feel cramped while modest ones feel roomy. A righteous neighbour is one who does not harm others, and a good mount brings ease and peace of mind rather than necessarily being luxurious.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Maksudnya :" Antara (tanda) kebahagiaan seseorang ialah rumah yang luas, jiran yang soleh dan kenderaan tunggangan yang elok."
