adab:119

Abu Hurayra said, "The Prophet ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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 ﷺ said, 'She is one of the people of the Garden.'"

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ فُلاَنَةً تَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ وَتَصُومُ النَّهَارَ وَتَفْعَلُ وَتَصَّدَّقُ وَتُؤْذِي جِيرَانَهَا بِلِسَانِهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لاَ خَيْرَ فِيهَا هِيَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ قَالُوا وَفُلاَنَةٌ تُصَلِّي الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتَصَّدَّقُ بِأَثْوَارٍ وَلاَ تُؤْذِي أَحَدًا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هِيَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ
