This selection was taken from a larger hadeeth which was collected by Imam Muslim. Some of the prophet's companions went to him and complained that the rich Muslims were able to get more reward from Allah than they were because they were not able to give charity like the rich people could. Then the prophet mentioned several things that a person can do which they will be rewarded for (If you want I'll post them later). The last thing the prophet mentioned was the reward for having relations with your spouse.
One of the points of this hadeeth is it shows how merciful Allah is to His creation. He has legislated His religion in such a fashion that even the poorest person can do certain acts of kindness like smiling at a felllow Muslim and be given a reward for giving charity and Allah knows best.
If anyone is interested, I'll try to post something like this every few days. Let me know what you think.
