وعن أبي ذر، رضي الله عنه، قال: قال لي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
لا تحقرن من المعروف شيئاً، ولو أن تلقي أخاك بوجه طلق

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) The etiquettes of the Islamic religion and Prophetic guidance bring about affection and cordiality among the believers, which gives joy and harmony to their hearts.<br>
2) Smiling in the face of fellow Muslims and meeting them with a cheerful face is an act of kindness and charity.<br>
3) An act of kindness, even if insignificant in the sight of people, weighs heavy in the scale of deeds.<br>
4) The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) was keen on giving advice to the believers. Advice is a Qur’anic and Prophetic approach.
