Assisting a Believer in his Needs

“I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) saying, ‘One who performs Tawaf (walking seven times around the Ka’ba for worship) Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, will write for him six thousand good deeds, delete his six thousand sins, and will raise him six thousand degrees in meritorious status.’ The narrator has said that Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar has added, ‘His six thousand wishes will be made to come true’. “The narrator has said that The Imam said, ‘To help the wish of a believer come true is better then a Tawaf, and Tawaf. . . . (walking seven times around the Ka’ba for worship), repeating it ten times.’”

“Whoever performs a single Tawaf (walking seven times around the Ka’ba for worship) of this House Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, writes down for him six thousand good deeds, deletes his six thousand sins, and raises him six thousand degrees in meritorious status until he reaches al-Multazam (a part of Ka’ba) Allah then opens seven doors of paradise for him.’ I then asked, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, all these rewards just for one Tawaf (walking seven times around the Ka’ba for worship)?’ The Imam said, ‘Yes, and I can tell you something better than this and that is helping the wish of a Muslim to come true. It is better than a Tawaf, a Tawaf. . . . (walking seven times around the Ka’ba for worship), the Imam repeated ten times.’”
