It is also charity to utter a good word

Abu Hurairah (Radhi-Allah-hu 'anhu) reported:

The Prophet (
salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

"It is also charity to utter a good word.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].


Commentary:
In Islam, it is not spending money alone that counts as charity; talking to somebody in a decent way also comes in the same context. Now, one can feel the importance Islam gives to moral values and good manners.
