The Virtue of Relieving Hardships


Explanation of the Hadeeth: He who relieves a hardship of this Dunya (this earthly life)
for a believer, Allah will relieve a hardship of the Day of Resurrection for him

by Shaikh Nathim Sultan
From Qawaid wa-Fawaaid min al-Arbaeen an-Nawawi

"He who relieves a hardship of this Dunya (this earthly life) for a believer, Allah will relieve a hardship of the Day of Resurrection for him; he who makes it easy for an indebted person, Allah will make it easy for him in the Dunya and the Hereafter; he who covers a Muslim (his mistakes and shortcomings), Allah will cover him in the Dunya and the Hereafter; Allah will be in the slave 's need, as long as the slave is in his (believing) brother's need…" [Saheeh Muslim]
