Sunan Abi Dawud 1668 (Book 9, Hadith 113) #21960
Kindness Towards Non-Believers

SUMMARY: It is permissible to do acts of kindness to those who are non-believers, even if they hate Islam.

Asma' said My mother came to me seeking some act of kindness from me during the treaty of the Quraish (at Hudaibiyah). While she hated Islam and she was a polytheist. I said Messenger of Allah , my mother has come to me while she hates Islam and she is a disbeliever. May I do an act of kindness to her? He replied Yes, do an act of kindness to her.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ، قَالَتْ قَدِمَتْ عَلَىَّ أُمِّي رَاغِبَةً فِي عَهْدِ قُرَيْشٍ وَهِيَ رَاغِمَةٌ مُشْرِكَةٌ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي قَدِمَتْ عَلَىَّ وَهِيَ رَاغِمَةٌ مُشْرِكَةٌ أَفَأَصِلُهَا قَالَ ‏ "‏ نَعَمْ فَصِلِي أُمَّكِ

Show mercy towards non believers even if they hate Islam

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of being kind and compassionate towards non-believers, even if they hate Islam. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked by Asma' bint Abu Bakr whether she should be kind to her mother who was a polytheist and hated Islam. The Prophet ﷺ replied that she should still be kind to her mother despite her beliefs and hatred for Islam. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive for kindness in our interactions with others, regardless of their beliefs or opinions about us or our religion. We must remember that Allah is the Most Merciful and He loves those who show mercy towards others. We must also remember that we are all human beings, regardless of our religious beliefs or lack thereof, and we should treat each other with respect and compassion at all times.
