BELITTLING A GOOD DEED
You have a chance to do something good, but you belittle it seeing that it's something small and not important... Do not belittle any good deed, even if you meet your brother with a cheerful face...
By Allah, why when we meet one another as Muslims we don't smile? Why? Even with a fake smile... "Assalaamu alaykum brother"... You get 10+ hasanat just for smiling in the face of your brother... Why we don't smile?
Jabir bin Abdullah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
" كُلُّ مَعْرُوفٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ أَنْ تَلْقَى أَخَاكَ بِوَجْهٍ طَلْقٍ وَأَنْ تُفْرِغَ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي إِنَاءِ أَخِيكَ "
"Every good is charity. Indeed among the good is to meet your brother with a smiling face, and to pour what is left in your bucket into the vessel of your brother." [Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1970]
It is one amongst the small ants.
Even good and bad deeds of an ant’s weight will be weighed on the scale on day of resurrection. So in this is a warning (or an important notification) to the servants of Allaah that they do not belittle anything from the good deeds. Indeed, the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said, ”Save yourself from hell-fire even by giving half a date-fruit in charity”. [Bukhaari 1417]
