Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 24639a
"لا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ المَعْرُوفِ شَيئًا، وَلَوْ أنْ تُعطِي صِلَةَ الحَبْلِ، وَلَوْ أَنْ تُعطِي شِسع النَّعلِ، ولَوْ أَنْ تُفْرغَ مِنْ دَلوكَ فِي إناء المُسْتَسقِي، وَلوْ أَنْ تُنَحِّي الشَّئَ مِنْ طريق [الناس] () يؤذيهم وَلوْ أنْ تَلقَى أَخَاكَ ووَجهُكَ إِليه مُنطَلق، وَلَوْ أَنْ تَلقَى أَخَاكَ فتُسلمَ عَليهِ، وَلَوْ أنْ تُؤنسَ الوحْشان فِي الأرضِ، وإنْ سَبَّكَ رَجلٌ بشيءٍ يَعْلَمهُ فِيكَ وَأَنْتَ تَعلمُ فِيه نَحوَهُ فَلا تَسُبَّه فَيكونَ أجرُهُ لَكَ، وَوزْرُهُ عَلَيه، وَمَاسَرَّ أُذُنَكَ أَنْ تَسمعَهُ فَاعملْ بِه، ومَا أسَاءَ أُذُنَكَ أنْ تَعملَ ( ) بِهِ فاجتنِبْه".
Translation
Machine translation, not reviewed
"Do not belittle any act of kindness, even if it is giving the strap of a rope, even if it is giving the strap of a sandal, even if it is pouring from your bucket into the vessel of one seeking water, even if it is removing something from the road of [the people] that harms them, even if it is meeting your brother with a cheerful face, even if it is meeting your brother and greeting him with salam, even if it is keeping company with the lonely one in the land. And if a man insults you for something he knows about you, and you know the like of it about him, do not insult him, for then his reward will be yours and his burden will be upon him. Whatever pleases your ear to hear, act upon it, and whatever displeases your ear, avoid doing it."
