it was reported the people of good deeds in this world are the people of good deeds in the hereafter. and in the proverb do good even to a dog. and he said in urging the little to be preferred over the much allah the almighty said so whoever does an atoms weight of good will see it and whoever does an atoms weight of evil will see it. and aisha said about a grape there are atoms weights in it and that is why they said in the proverb he who belittles will be deprived. and sallam bin qutaybah said one of them is ashamed to bring a little food and he does something greater than it. and he said the effort of a person is greater than his forgiveness. and the messenger of allah may allah bless him and grant him peace presented the effort of the little over the forgiveness of the abundant even if the amount of his effort is little and the amount of the forgiveness of the abundant is much. and they said do not let the smallness of a good deed prevent you. the prophet may god bless him and grant him peace said protect yourselves from the fire even if it is with half a date. he also said do not turn away the beggar even if it is with a burnt hoof. he also said do not turn him away even if it is with a sheeps hoof. he also said do not belittle a morsel for it will return like a huge mountain because god almighty said god destroys interest.
وجاء في الأثر إن أهل المعروف في الدنيا أهل المعروف في الآخرة. وفي المثل إصنع الخير ولو إلى كلب . وقال في الحث على القليل فضلا على الكثير، قال الله جل ذكره فمن يعمل مثقال ٣ ذرة خيرا يره، ومن يعمل مثقال ذرة شرا يره ، وقالت عائشة في حبة عنب إن فيها لمثاقيل ذر ، ولذلك قالوا في المثل من حقر حرم ٤ . وقال سلم بن قتيبة يستحي أحدهم من تقريب القليل من الطعام، ويأتي أعظم منه ، وقال جهد المرء أكثر من عفوه . وقدم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم جهد المقل على عفو المكثر، وإن كان مبلغ جهده قليلا، ومبلغ عفو المكثر كثيرا. وقالوا لا يمنعك من معروف صغره . وقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم اتقوا النار ولو بشق تمرة وقال لا تردوا السائل ولو بظلف ٥ محرق وقال لا تردوه ولو بفرسن ٦ شاة ، وقال لا تحقروا اللقمة، فإنها تعود كالجبل العظيم، لقول الله جل ذكره) يمحق الله الربا
