Hadith #1

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْیَمَانِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ یُعِینُ مُؤْمِناً مَظْلُوماً إِلَّا کَانَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ صِیَامِ شَهْرٍ وَ اعْتِکَافِهِ فِی الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَ مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ یَنْصُرُ أَخَاهُ وَ هُوَ یَقْدِرُ عَلَی نُصْرَتِهِ إِلَّا وَ نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْآخِرَهِ وَ مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ یَخْذُلُ أَخَاهُ وَ هُوَ یَقْدِرُ عَلَی نُصْرَتِهِ إِلَّا خَذَلَهُ اللَّهُ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْآخِرَهِ.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from his father from Hamad b. Isa from Ibrahim b. Umar al-Yamani from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who helps an oppressed believer its reward is better than that of fasting for a month and performing Etekaf in Masjidul Haraam. One who is capable of helping a Muslim and helps him, the Almighty Allah will help him in the world and the hereafter. If a believer is being backbited and a person capable of helping him remains silent and does not defend him, the Almighty Allah will make him deprived in the world and the hereafter.”



Hadith #2

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْخَطَّابِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِی الْوَرْدِ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مَنِ اغْتِیبَ عِنْدَهُ أَخُوهُ الْمُؤْمِنُ فَنَصَرَهُ وَ أَعَانَهُ نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْآخِرَهِ وَ مَنِ اغْتِیبَ عِنْدَهُ أَخُوهُ الْمُؤْمِنُ فَلَمْ یَنْصُرْهُ وَ لَمْ یُعِنْهُ وَ لَمْ یَدْفَعْ عَنْهُ وَ هُوَ یَقْدِرُ عَلَی نُصْرَتِهِ وَ عَوْنِهِ إِلَّا خَفَضَهُ اللَّهُ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْآخِرَهِ.

2. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari from Muhammad b. al-Hussain b. Abi al-Khattab from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Ali b. Riyab from Abi al-Ward from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: To be translated...
