عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الدُّنْيَا نَفَّسَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَمَنْ يَسَّرَ عَلَى مُعْسِرٍ يَسَّرَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَاللَّهُ فِي عَوْنِ الْعَبْدِ مَا كَانَ الْعَبْدُ فِي عَوْنِ أَخِيهِ وَمَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَلْتَمِسُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا سَهَّلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهِ طَرِيقًا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَمَا اجْتَمَعَ قَوْمٌ فِي بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِ اللَّهِ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَيَتَدَارَسُونَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ إِلَّا نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّكِينَةُ وَغَشِيَتْهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَحَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَذَكَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيمَنْ عِنْدَهُ وَمَنْ أَبْطَأَ بِهِ عَمَلُهُ لَمْ يُسْرِعْ بِهِ نَسَبُهُ
Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever relieves a believer of one of the hardships of this world, Allah will relieve him of one of the hardships of the Day of Resurrection. Whoever conceals (the faults of) a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter. Whoever makes things easy for a person in difficulty and distress, Allah will make things easy for him in this world and the Hereafter. Allah continues to help His servant as long as the servant is engaged in helping his brother. Whoever treads a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise because of it. Whenever people gather in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and teaching it to one another, tranquility descends upon them, mercy covers them, the angels surround them, and Allah mentions them among those who are with Him. And whoever is held back by his deeds, his lineage will not push him forward.

عَنْ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ مَخْلَدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا فِي الدُّنْيَا سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَمَنْ نَجَّى مَكْرُوبًا فَكَّ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ كَانَ فِي حَاجَةِ أَخِيهِ كَانَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي حَاجَتِهِ

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ لَا يَظْلِمُهُ وَلَا يُسْلِمُهُ مَنْ كَانَ فِي حَاجَةِ أَخِيهِ كَانَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي حَاجَتِهِ وَمَنْ فَرَّجَ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ كُرْبَةً فَرَّجَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim; he does not oppress him nor does he abandon him helpless.

Whoever removes a difficulty from a Muslim, Allah Almighty will remove one of his difficulties from the difficulties of the Day of Resurrection. And whoever conceals (the faults of) a Muslim, Allah Almighty will conceal him on the Day of Resurrection.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that two men came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); they both had the same need. When one of them spoke, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) noticed an unpleasant odor from his mouth and said: "Do you not use the miswak?" He replied: "Yes, I certainly do, but the fact is that I have not eaten food for three days." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed a person, so he took him and fulfilled his need.
