The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are forty virtuous deeds, the highest of which is lending a milking-goat. No one performs any one of these deeds, hoping for its reward and trusting in its promise, except that Allah will admit him to Paradise on account of it."Hassan said, "We tried to count the deeds below lending a milking-goat, such as returning a greeting, responding to one who sneezes, removing harm from the road, and the like, but we could not reach fifteen."
قال رسول الله ﷺ: أربعون خصلة أعلاهن منيحة العنز ما من عامل يعمل بخصلة منها رجاء ثوابها وتصديق موعودها إلا أدخله الله بها الجنة. قال حسان: فعددنا ما دون منيحة العنز من رد السلام وتشميت العاطس وإماطة الأذى عن الطريق ونحوه فما استطعنا أن نبلغ خمس عشرة خصلة.
