1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ibn Mahbub from Zayd al-Shahham who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) saying, ‘One who helps his brother (in belief) who is grieved and exhausted in his suffering, relieves him of his hardships and helps him to meet his needs, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, writes for this seventy-two blessings from Allah of which one is an immediate facilitation of his financial affairs and preserves the other seventy-one blessings for his life in the hereafter to help him in the disastrous and frightening conditions of the Day of Judgment.’”

2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) مَنْ أَعَانَ مُؤْمِناً نَفَّسَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَنْهُ ثَلاثاً وَسَبْعِينَ كُرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَثِنْتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ كُرْبَةً عِنْدَ كُرَبِهِ الْعُظْمَى قَالَ حَيْثُ يَتَشَاغَلُ النَّاسُ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ.

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘One who provides financial help for his brother (in belief), Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, provides for him relief in seventy-three grievous conditions. One is for the worldly life and the other seventy-two in times of great grief and hardship (Day of Judgment), when people will be preoccupied with the problems of their own souls.’”

3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ مِسْمَعٍ أَبِي سَيَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ كُرْبَةً نَفَّسَ الله عَنْهُ كُرَبَ الآخِرَةِ وَخَرَجَ مِنْ قَبْرِهِ وَهُوَ ثَلِجُ الْفُؤَادِ وَمَنْ أَطْعَمَهُ مِنْ جُوعٍ أَطْعَمَهُ الله مِنْ ثِمَارِ الْجَنَّةِ وَمَنْ سَقَاهُ شَرْبَةً سَقَاهُ الله مِنَ الرَّحِيقِ الْمَخْتُومِ.

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Husayn ibn Nu’Aim from Musmi’ abu Sayyar who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) saying, ‘For one who provides relief for his brother (in belief), Allah provides him relief in hardship in the life hereafter. He will come out of his grave with a comfortable heart. Whoever satisfies his (a believers’s) hunger Allah will feed him from the fruits of paradise. One who provides drink for him Allah will quench his (the helper’s) thirst with the sealed wine of paradise.’”

4. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla ibn Muhammad from al- Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ from al-Rida (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever relieves a believer from suffering, Allah will provide relief for his (helper’s) heart on the Day of Judgment.”

5ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ ذَرِيحٍ الْمُحَارِبِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ أَيُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ كُرْبَةً وَهُوَ مُعْسِرٌ يَسَّرَ الله لَهُ حَوَائِجَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ قَالَ وَمَنْ سَتَرَ عَلَى مُؤْمِنٍ عَوْرَةً يَخَافُهَا سَتَرَ الله عَلَيْهِ سَبْعِينَ عَوْرَةً مِنْ عَوْرَاتِ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ قَالَ وَالله فِي عَوْنِ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَا كَانَ الْمُؤْمِنُ فِي عَوْنِ أَخِيهِ فَانْتَفِعُوا بِالْعِظَةِ وَارْغَبُوا فِي الْخَيْرِ.

5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al- Hassan ibn Mahbub from Jamil ibn Salih from Dharih al-Muharibi who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) saying, ‘Any believer who relieves a believer from his hardships in a constraining condition Allah will make his (helper’s) needs easily met in this world and in the next.’ The Imam said, ‘Whoever provides cover for the private matters of a believer for which he is afraid, Allah will provide cover for his (helper’s) seventy private matters of this world and in the next life.’ The Imam said, ‘Allah supports a believer as long as he supports his believing brother (in belief). You must benefit from the good advice and be interested in good deeds.’”
