1956. Abū Dharr narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Your smiling in the face of your brother is charity, commanding good and forbidding evil is charity, your giving directions to a man lost in the land is charity for you. Your seeing for a man with bad sight is a charity for you, your removal of a rock, a thorn or a bone from the road is charity for you. Your pouring what remains from your bucket into the bucket of your brother is charity for you." (Hasan)

Commentary
The Hadīth confirms that anything done out of sympathy and well-wishing for others, however petty it might seem, is praiseworthy and would fetch reward from Allāh.
