Narrated by Abu-Hurayrah (May Allaah be pleased with him) A man said:
" O Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him), such and such a woman has a reputation for engaging to a great extent in prayer, fasting and almsgiving but she annoys her neighbours with her tongue"
He replied:
"She will go to Hell.
He said:
"O Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him), such and such a woman has a reputation for engaging to a small extent in fasting, almsgiving and prayer, but she gives pieces of curd as sadaqah and does not annoy her neighbours with her tongue."
He replied:
"She will go to Paradise."
(Tirmidhee)
