باب اسْتِحْبَابِ طَلاَقَةِ الْوَجْهِ عِنْدَ اللِّقَاءِ:Chapter: It Is Recommend To Show A Cheerful Countenance When Meeting Others
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو غَسَّانَ الْمِسْمَعِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ يَعْنِي الْخَزَّازَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ أَنْ تَلْقَى أَخَاكَ بِوَجْهٍ طَلْقٍ " .
Abu Dharr (RA) reported: Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said to me: Don't consider anything insignificant out of good things even if it is that you meet your brother with a cheerful countenance.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: Since virtue paves the way for further virtue, therefore, Satan, in order to deprive a person of good deeds, puts this thought into his heart: "You have committed major sins, you have not performed any great acts of virtue, what will you gain from doing this small good deed?" Whereas, very often, a small good deed performed with sincerity (ikhlas) and good intention (niyyah) transforms a person's entire state, paves the way for greater acts of virtue, becomes a means for the forgiveness of sins, and blocks the path of evil. Just as a woman's entire state was transformed merely by giving water to a dog, and for another, removing a thorny branch from the path paved the way to Paradise. Therefore, one should not refrain from any good deed by considering it insignificant.
