The virtue of fulfilling needs

The most beloved of deeds to Allah Almighty is the joy that you bring to a Muslim, or that you remove some hardship from him, or pay off his debt, or drive away his hunger. That I walk with a brother of mine for some need of his is more beloved to me than that I perform i'tikaf in this mosque, that is, the Prophet's Mosque, for a month. Whoever restrains his anger, Allah Almighty will conceal his hidden faults. Whoever swallows his anger when, if he wished, he could act on it, Allah Almighty will fill his heart with ease on the Day of Resurrection.
