Do the actions mentioned in the text fall under the concept of sadaqah (charity)?

Performing good deeds, such as uttering a kind word and extending greetings of peace, falls under the category of charity (sadaqa). The proof for this is the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Every good deed is charity." The poor people had thought that charity was only money, so the Prophet informed them that all types of good deeds and acts of kindness are charity.
