Imaam Ibn Hajar Al-‘Asqalaani – rahimahullaah – said:
It is reported from Abi Zarr radiyallaahu anhu- who said – The Messenger of Allah – salallaahu alayhi wasallam said:
“Do not consider any act of goodness as being insignificant even if it is meeting your brother with a cheerful face”
Transmitted and recorded by Imaam Muslim in his “Sahih”#2626
COMMENTARY
The hadith shows the importance of the following:
1. It indicates that meeting one another with a cheerful face is a good act.
2. The type of cheerful face needed here should be the one that comes out from the depth of the heart and out of sincerity.
3. It indicates that no good act should be seen insignificant.
4. It shows that expressing cheerful face to one another is a sign that our heart is devoid of rancour, envy, hatred, despise, and dislike towards our brothers.
Allaahu A’alam!
Baarakallaahu feekum!
