It reads: “It was related on the authority of Abu Hurairah (God be well pleased with him), that the Prophet, (God bless him and give him peace) said: ‘Whoever relieves a believer of distress in this world, God will relieve him of some of the distress of the Day of Resurrection. Whoever makes things easy for those who are in difficulty, God will make things easy for him in this world and in the next. Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim in this world, God will conceal his faults in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah will help a servant (of His) so long as the servant helps his brother.’ Mishkaat al-Massabeeh, 1-71, Hadith no.204.
