ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ طَلَاقَةَ وَجْهِ الْمَرْءِ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not underestimate any act of kindness, even if it is just meeting your brother with a cheerful face. And when you cook soup, add more water to it and share it with your neighbors."

ابن حبّان:٥٢٣ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْخَطِيبُ بِالْأَهْوَازِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ هَوْذَةَ بْنِ خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ رُسْتُمَ عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ أَنْ تَلْقَى أَخَاكَ بِوَجْهٍ طَلْقٍ فَإِذَا صَنَعْتَ مَرَقَةً فَأَكْثِرْ مَاءَهَا وَاغْرِفْ لِجِيرَانِكَ مِنْهَا»
