Hadith 1702
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " ابْغُونِي ضُعَفَاءَكُمْ ، فَإِنَّمَا تُرْزَقُونَ وَتُنْصَرُونَ بِضُعَفَائِكُمْ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Seek me among your weak and vulnerable, for you are given provision and granted help because of your weak and vulnerable (due to the blessings of their supplications)." Imam Tirmidhi says: This hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Allah Ta’ala wants to provide sustenance to these weak ones and desires good for them, but since they are dependent on you, therefore Allah Ta’ala grants you sustenance as well in order to deliver sustenance to them, and He also assists you for their benefit.

Benefits and Issues:
The worship and supplication of the weak, helpless, and destitute individuals, as well as other creatures, are characterized by sincerity.
They are generally free from ostentation (riya).
Thus, due to the blessing of their worship, supplication, and helplessness, Allah ‘azza wa jall bestows mercy upon others as well.
