Ḥusayn b. Saʿīd al-Ahwāzī · The Reward of Helping a Believer, Relieving Him of Distress And Showing Him Kindness
132- عن صفوان قال: كنت عند أبي عبد الله عليه السلام يوم التروية فدخل عليه ميمون القداح، فشكى إليه تعذر الكراء، فقال لي: قم فأعن أخاك فخرجت معه، فيسر الله له الكراء، فرجعت إلى مجلسي، فقال لي: ما صنعت في حاجة أخيك المسلم؟ قلت: قضاها الله تعالى، فقال: أما إنك إن تعن أخاك أحب إلي من طواف أسبوع بالكعبة، ثم قال: إن رجلا أتى الحسن بن علي عليهما السلام فقال: بأبي أنت وأمي يا أبا محمد أعني على حاجتي؟ فانتعل وقام معه، فمر على الحسين بن علي عليهما السلام وهو قائم يصلي، فقال له: أين كنت عن أبي عبد الله، تستعينه على حاجتك؟ قال: قد فعلت فذكر لي أنه معتكف، فقال: أما أنه لو أعانك على حاجتك لكان خيرا له من اعتكاف شهر
132. Safwan reported: I was with Abu 'Abd Allah (a.s) on the Day of al-Tarwiyah when Maymun al-Qaddah visited him and complained to him about a difficulty in arranging a hire. Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) said to me, 'Go and help your brother.' So, I went out with him and Allah eased his difficulty and I returned to my gathering. Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) asked me, 'What did you do in helping your Muslim brother?' 'Allah fulfilled it,' I replied. He said, 'Indeed, if you help your brother, it will be more loved by me than circumambulating around the Ka'bah for a week.' Then he continued, 'A man once came to al-Hasan ibn 'Ali (a.s) and said, 'May my father and mother be ransomed for you, O Abu Muhammad, help me with my need?' So, he put on his shoes and rose (to go) with him. They passed by Al-Husayn ibn 'Ali (a.s) who was standing in prayer. Imam al-Hasan (a.s) asked to the man, 'Why did you not ask Abu 'Abd Allah (i.e. Imam Al-Husayn) to help you?' 'I wanted,' replied the man, 'but it was said to me that he was in the state of i'tikaf.' 'Had he helped you in your need,' al-Hasan (a.s) commented, 'it would have been better for him than a whole month's i'tikaf.'
