Smiling - Low Cost Medicine?

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) teaches us as Muslims, “Meeting your brother with smile (cheerful face) is charity.” (Narrated ‘Aisha, the Prophet’s wife -may Allah be pleased with her).

Prophet Muhammad used to smile, often and with real joy. In fact he would smile so regularly that his kind demeanor are mentioned time and time again in anecdotes and stories from his traditions.

Abdullaah ibn Haarith said, “I never came across a person who smiled as much as Prophet Muhammad. Prophet Muhammad regarded smiling to a brother as an act of charity.”

Jarir ibn Abdullah said; “The Messenger of God never refused me permission to see him since I embraced Islam and never looked at me except with a smile (on his face).”
