This hadith always touches my heart because it reminds me something about humanity and the decree of openness our Prophet gave to us. Aren't there so many days when you might feel upset or down about yourself and a stranger gives you a bright open smile or a friendly hello and you feel automatically uplifted? The act of smiling is so revered in Islam that it is given the status of counting as charity. What an easy thing for all of us to do!
May Allah make us among those who are open and friendly and those who offer our greetings to whoever we might meet. Ameen.
