Hadith Explanation

Cheerful Countenance

Abu Dharr (radi Allahu anhu) reported that Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Don't consider anything insignificant out of good things, even if it is that you meet your brother with a cheerful countenance.” [Sahih Muslim]

Every little good counts with Allah (subhana wa ta’ala). Even meeting another Muslim with a smile increases your balance of good deeds.

Seeing a cheerful face makes others feel happy. Giving someone this little bit of happiness is a source of reward for you when you do it for the sake of earning Allah’s pleasure.
