Hadith 111
۞
111. It has been reported that Abu 'Abd Allah (a.s) said
To fulfill the need of a believer is better than providing one thousand horses in the way of Allah and freeing one thousand slaves. He also said: If any believer goes out to help his brother, Allah writes for him a good deed for every step (he takes) and erases from him a sin and elevates him a degree. And any believer who relieves his fellow believer of a distress, Allah will relieve him of a distress in the hereafter. And if any believer comes to the aid of one who is oppressed, that would be better than fasting for a whole month and performing i'tikaf in the Sacred Mosque (in Makkah).
وعن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
قضاء حاجة المؤمن خير من حملان ألف فرس في سبيل الله عز وجل، وعتق ألف نسمة وقال: ما من مؤمن يمشي لأخيه في حاجة إلا كتب الله له بكل خطوة حسنة، وحط بها عنه سيئة، ورفع له بها درجة. وما من مؤمن يفرج عن أخيه المؤمن كربة إلا فرج الله عنه كربة من كرب الآخرة، وما من مؤمن يعين مظلوما إلا كان ذلك أفضل من صيام شهر واعتكافه في المسجد الحرام
