Chapter 85: About Speaking Kind Words and Smiling at Others

Translation: Allah said:

Translation: " Look not with your eyes ambitiously at what We have bestowed on certain classes of them (the disbelievers), nor grieve over them. And lower your wings for the believers (be courteous to the fellow-believers). * " (15: 88) And

Translation: “ And due to the Mercy of Allah, you dealt with them gently. And had you been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from around you, so pass over (their faults), and ask (Allah's) Forgiveness for them, and consult with them in affairs. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah, certainly Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him). (3: 159)

Translation: 326. Narrated Uday ibn Hatem: ' While I was sitting with Allah's Messenger ﷺ two people came to him, one of them complained about his poverty and the other complained about the prevalence of robberies. Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: " As regards stealing and robberies, there will shortly come a time when a caravan will go to Mecca (from Madina) without any guard. And regarding poverty, The Hour (the Day of Judgment) will not be established until one of you wanders about with an object to give in charity and will not find anybody to accept it. And (no doubt) each one of you will stand in front of Allah and there will be neither a screen nor an interpreter between him and Allah Allah will ask him: ' Did not I give you wealth? ' He will reply in the affirmative. Allah will further ask: ' Did not I send a Messenger to you? ' And again that person will reply in the affirmative. Then he will look to his right and he will see nothing but Hellfire and he will look to his left and will see nothing but Hellfire. So let each one of you save himself from Hellfire, even by giving half of a dried-date (in charity). And if you do not find a half of a dried-date (to give in charity), then (you can do it through saying) a kind word to your Muslim brother. " (Bukhari)

Translation: 327. Narrated Abu-Zarr: ' The Messenger of Allah said: " Let not one of you despise a good deed (for his brother). If he did not find, let him receive his brother with a smiling face. If you buy meat and cook it, make much broth and ladle for your neighbor some of it. " (At-Termizi)
