However,
were you to frown upon the people, they would stay away from you and not
feel comfortable sitting with you nor talking to you.
You may even
become afflicted with a dangerous condition: high blood pressure.
Having a tranquil chest and a pleasant smile is the most wholesome
remedy and the best preventative measure for this condition. For this
reason, physicians advice people who have this condition to stay away
from what disturbs and angers them, since those things only agitate this
condition.
A pleasant
smile actually has a remedial effect on this condition, since it leads
to a tranquil chest, and it causes others to love you.
[Taken from: “Upright Moral Character”, by Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, p. 49]
