① It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنهما that a beggar came to him and asked a question. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنهما asked him: Do you testify that there is no deity except Allah and that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is the Messenger of Allah? He said: Yes! He asked: Do you fast? He said: Yes. He said: You have asked, and the beggar has a right. Therefore, we have the right to show kindness to you. So he gave him a cloth. Then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم say:
ما من مسلم كسا مسلما ثوبا إلا كان فى حفظ الله ما دام عليه منه خرقة
"If a Muslim clothes another Muslim, as long as any piece of that clothing remains on his body, the one who clothed him will be under Allah’s protection."

① Sayyiduna Abu Darda رضي الله عنه narrates that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:
لا تحقرن من المعروف شيئا ولو أن تلقى أخاك بوجه طلق
"Do not consider any good deed insignificant, even if it is meeting your brother with a cheerful face (this too is a good deed)."
Reference: Muslim, Book of Virtue, Enjoining Good Manners, and Joining of the Ties of Kinship 2626.
② Sayyiduna Abu Darda رضي الله عنه also narrates that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:
لا يحقرن أحدكم شيئا من المعروف، وإن لم يجد فليلق أخاه بوجه طلق، وإذا اشتريت لحما أو طبخت قدرا فأكثر مرقته واغرف لجارك منه
"None of you should consider any good deed insignificant, and if he finds no good deed to do, then he should meet his brother with a cheerful face. And when you buy meat or cook a pot, make extra broth and send some of it to your neighbor."
Reference: Tirmidhi, Book of Food 1833, the narration is authentic.
③ Sayyiduna Abu Dharr رضي الله عنه narrates that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:
لا تحقرن من المعروف شيئا ولو أن تلقى أخاك بوجه طلق
"Do not consider any good deed insignificant, even if it is just meeting your (religious) brother with a cheerful face."

① Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
إن من أكمل المؤمنين إيمانا أحسنهم أخلاقا وألطفهم بأهله
"The most perfect believer among the believers is the one who has the best character and is most kind and gentle to his family."
Reference: Tirmidhi, Book of Faith 2612, Musnad Ahmad, also Musnad al-Ansar 6/47, the narration is Hasan.
