How to Love Neighbors

Neighbors
BEHAVIOUR WITH NEIGHBOR
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him) said: "He will not enter Paradise whose neighbor is not secure from
his wrongful conduct." - Sahih Muslim, Hadith 15
BE KIND TO YOUR
NEIGHBORS
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "If you are kind to
your neighbor, you will be a believer. If you like others to have what you like
for yourself, you will be a Muslim." - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1334
BE GENEROUS
TO YOUR NEIGHBOR
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever
believes in God and the Last Day should be generous to his neighbor." -
Al-Muwatta, Volume 49, Hadith 22
BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR
The Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him) said: "If anyone is pleased to love God and His Messenger or
to have God and His Messenger love him, he should speak the truth when he says
anything, fulfill his trust when he is put in a position of authority and be a
good neighbor." - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1289
A man once asked the Prophet:
"How can I know when I do well and when I do ill?" The Prophet replied: "When
you hear your neighbors say you have done well, you have done well; and when you
hear them say you have done ill, you have done ill." - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith
1288
I wonder if there are conditions or exceptions to these ahadeeth for example:
1. The manly blond across the way with the yalping dalmation who you spotted kissing the female owner of the new Lexus parked in front of your house
2. The neighbor who stands in her doorway topless.
3. The neighbor who accuses you of killing her grass after cutting it and tells other neighbors of your crime, may I add she has dogs that we never see, because she doesn't walk them.
I know the Hadeeth of Umm Jameel and how she threw garbage at the prophet, but an open homesexual, zinaa exhibitionists and well, maybe an animal abuser, do these people fall under the same categories? Insha'Allah may Allah guide these people, myself and insha'Allah grant me the opportunity to make hijrah ameen . . .
