Hadith on Neighbors: Be kind to neighbors, regardless of religion

Mujahid reported: We were with Abdullah ibn Amr while his servant prepared to distribute a sheep. Abdullah said, “Young man, when you are finished, then begin with our Jewish neighbor.” A man said, “Jewish? May Allah correct you!” Abdullah said, “I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, enjoining good treatment of our neighbors so often that we feared he would make them our heirs.”

عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ‏ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَغُلاَمُهُ يَسْلُخُ شَاةً فَقَالَ‏ يَا غُلاَمُ إِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَابْدَأْ بِجَارِنَا الْيَهُودِيِّ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ‏ الْيَهُودِيُّ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ‏ قَالَ‏ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُوصِي بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى خَشِينَا أَوْ رُئِينَا أَنَّهُ سَيُوَرِّثُهُ‏
