Sunan an-Nasai 4435 (Book 43, Hadith 75) #18968
The Power of Smiling

SUMMARY: Abdullah bin Mughaffal found a bag of fat and decided to keep it for himself, but when he saw the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) smiling at him, he changed his mind and gave it away.

'Abdullah bin Mughaffal said: "A bag of fat was thrown on the day of Khaibar, and I caught it and said: "I will not give anything of this to anyone'. I turned around and saw the Messenger of Allah there, smiling". (Sahih )
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُغِيرَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُغَفَّلٍ، قَالَ دُلِّيَ جِرَابٌ مِنْ شَحْمٍ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ فَالْتَزَمْتُهُ قُلْتُ لاَ أُعْطِي أَحَدًا مِنْهُ شَيْئًا فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَتَبَسَّمُ
