Who is the neighbor who has the right of neighborliness?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The neighbor who has the right of neighborliness is the one adjacent by the wall, or the one in the neighborhood?

Answer:
Everyone who is near you is a neighbor. Everyone who is closer to you is your neighbor, up to forty houses. The most deserving of the right of neighborliness is the one whose door is closest. Whoever has the closest door is the most deserving of the right of neighborliness.
