I was hesitant to buy a house. A Jew said: After all, I am one of the elders of this neighborhood; ask me about the description of this house as it is. Buy it, it has no flaws. I said: Except that you are my neighbor!

A house that has a neighbor like you

Is worth ten dirhams of bad silver

But one must be hopeful

That after your death, it will be worth a thousand.
