Arabic hadith text

: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كُلُّ مَعْرُوفٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ أَنْ تَلْقَى أَخَاكَ بِوَجْهٍ طَلْقٍ وَأَنْ تُفْرِغَ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي إِنَاءِ أَخِيكَ» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد وَالتِّرْمِذِيّ

Translation

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Every good deed is charity. Among good deeds is meeting your brother with a cheerful face and pouring what is in your bucket into your brother’s vessel.’ Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi transmitted it.

Translation notes
  • The Arabic passage begins directly with the Prophet’s ﷺ statement and contains no narrator’s name; the English witness attributes it to Jabir, which is not included here.
