Hadith Twenty-Three
The Exposition of the Immense Merit of Bringing
Deliverance to A Muslim, Covering Up His Condition,
Facilitating His Case and Helping Him, and the Immense
Merit of Pursuing Knowledge and Gathering in Order to
Recite Allah's Book and Study It Together
It is narrated from Abu Hurayra (ra) that he said
Allah's Messenger ﷺ said:
"Whoever dispels one of the worldly cares of a
believer, Allah (swt) shall dispel one of the cares
of the Day of Judgment for him.
"Whoever shields a Muslim, Allah (swt) shall shield
him in the world and the hereafter.
"Whoever facilitates something for someone in difficulty,
Allah (swt) shall facilitate things for
him in the world and the hereafter.
"Allah (swt) ever provides help to His servant as
long as His servant is providing help to his brother.
"Whoever treads a path in which he pursues knowledge,
Allah (swt) shall facilitate for him a path to
Paradise.
"No people gather in one of Allah's houses to recite Allah's Book
and study it together except tranquility
descends upon them, mercy envelops them, angels
surround them, and Allah (swt) mentions them among
those who are with Him.
"And whoever is delayed by [scarcity of] deeds, his
lineage shall in no way quicken him."
Narrated by Muslim as well as al-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud,
Ibn Majah, Ahmad, and al-Darimi.
