The Sufficient (Vol 2) · Hadith 678 (#Ḥadīth #2)

2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ يُكَنَّى أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ تَبَسُّمُ الرَّجُلِ فِي وَجْهِ أَخِيهِ حَسَنَةٌ وَصَرْفُ الْقَذَى عَنْهُ حَسَنَةٌ وَمَا عُبِدَ الله بِشَيْءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَى الله مِنْ إِدْخَالِ السُّرُورِ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِ.

2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father from a man from the people of al-Kufah called abu Muhammad from ‘Amr ibn Shamir from Jabir from abu Ja’far who has said the following: “The smiling of a man for his brother (in belief) is a good deed, so also is removing a speck from him (his eyes). Allah is not worshipped with anything more beloved to Him than bringing joy to the heart of a believer.”
