asalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh, i came across this narration (or a narration with similar wording) in silsilah asaheeha: "The Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, was asked, 'Messenger of Allah! A certain woman prays in the night, fasts in the day, acts and gives sadaqa, but injures her neighbours with her tongue.' The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, said, 'There is no good in her. She is one of the people of the Fire.' They said, 'Another woman prays the prescribed prayers and gives bits of curd as sadaqa and does not injure anyone.' The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, said, 'She is one of the people of the Garden.'" we also know that whether the neighbors are muslims or non muslims, they are entitled to being treated well and there are even narrations in which the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that jibreel alayhi asalaam conveyed to him the necessity of being good to the neighbors so much so that he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam thought that the neighbors would be made his inheritors. subhanAllah. so this narration mentioned above mentions that we may not even harm them with our tongues - but i was wondering if this applied to nonmuslim neighbors?... as i read that it is permissible to backbite the kuffar. can someone please clarify?
