Sahih al-Bukhari 5978 (Book 78, Hadith 9) #5738
Kindness and Justice Towards Non-Muslims

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) encouraged kindness and justice towards those who did not fight against Muslims due to their religion.

Narrated Asma' bint Abu Bakr: My mother came to me, hoping (for my favor) during the lifetime of the Prophet. I asked the Prophet, "May I treat her kindly?" He replied, "Yes". Ibn 'Uyaina said, "Then Allah revealed: 'Allah forbids you not with regards to those who fought not against you because of religion, and drove you not out from your homes, that you should show them kindness and deal justly with them'..(60:8)
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، أَخْبَرَتْنِي أَسْمَاءُ ابْنَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَتْ أَتَتْنِي أُمِّي رَاغِبَةً فِي عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ آصِلُهَا قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِيهَا ‏{‏لاَ يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ‏}‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of showing kindness and justice to non-Muslims. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was asked by Asma' bint Abu Bakr if she could treat her mother kindly even though she was not a Muslim. The Prophet replied in the affirmative and Allah revealed a verse from the Quran confirming this teaching. This verse states that Muslims should show kindness and deal justly with those who have not fought against them because of their religion or driven them out of their homes. In other words, Muslims should be kind to non-Muslims even if they do not share the same faith as them. This hadith teaches us that we should treat all people with respect regardless of their beliefs or backgrounds as this is what Allah has commanded us to do in His holy book, the Quran.
