Draw Close To the Poor

He (SAW) said to his wife Aisha,

"Do not turn away a poor man, Aisha, even if all you can give is half a date. If you love the poor and bring them near you, Aisha, Allah will bring you near Him on the Day of Resurrection."

Tirmidhi

On Kindness

He (SAW) said,

"Every act of kindness is "sadaqah, and kindness includes meeting your brother with a cheerful face and pouring water from a bucket into your brother's vessel."

Ahmed and Tirmidhi
