The Prophet (S) said: "Charity is prescribed for each descendant of
Adam every day the sun rises." He (S) was then asked: "From what do we
give charity every day?" The Prophet (S) answered: "The doors of
goodness are many; enjoining good, forbidding evil, removing harm from
the road, listening to the deaf, leading the blind, guiding one to the
object of his need, hurrying with the
strength of one's legs to one in sorrow who is asking for help, and
supporting the feeble with the strength of one's arms--all of these are
charity prescribed for you."
He (S) also said: "Your smile for your brother is charity."
[Fiqh-us-Sunnah, Volume 3, Number 98]
Prophet (S) said: "Do not abuse anyone, do not look down upon
any good work, and when you speak to your brother, show him a cheerful
face."
[Abu-Dawood]
Prophet (S) followed this advice
in his everyday life, so much so that `Abd Allah b. al-Hârith said: "I
have never seen anyone more in the habit of smiling than Allah's
Messenger (peace be upon him)."
[Tirmidhî]
A
genuine smile spreads friendship. We learn to
get along whatever the other differences might be. By Smiling, it can
be hoped that it will help to establish the value of good conduct among
all human beings.
