166 — Abū Khaythama narrated to us: Yazīd ibn Hārūn narrated to us, from Ziyād ibn Abī Ziyād ⦗120⦘, from Muhammad ibn Sīrīn, who said: Sulaym ibn Jābir said: I came to the Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—and said, “Teach me something good by which Allah will benefit me.” He said, “Never consider any good deed insignificant, even if it is merely pouring water from your bucket into the vessel of someone seeking water, or meeting your brother with a cheerful countenance. And when he turns away, do not backbite him.”
١٦٦ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، ثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ ⦗١٢٠⦘، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: قَالَ سُلَيْمُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: عَلِّمْنِي خَيْرًا يَنْفَعُنِي اللَّهُ بِهِ. قَالَ: «لَا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا، وَلَوْ أَنْ تَصُبَّ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي إِنَاءِ الْمُسْتَسْقِي، وَأَنْ تَلْقَى أَخَاكَ بِبِشْرٍ حَسَنٍ، وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَ فَلَا تَغْتَابَهُ»
