• It is narrated from Mufazzal bin Omer that Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) said, “ O
Mufazzil! Listen to what I say and act on the advice! Inform your pious momin
brothers too of what I am saying.” Mufazzil asked, “ Ya Hazrat! I offer myself in
sacrifice for you! Who are the people who take pleasure in helping their brother
momins?” The Imam (a.s.) replied, “ When a person helps fulfill one need of a
momin, Allah will fulfill his hundred thousand needs in the Hereafter. One of his
wishes will be taking his next of kin, friends and relations to the Heaven. The only
condition required of him will be that the persons on whose behalf he intercedes have
not been hypocrites (Nasibi).”
• It is narrated in another tradition that Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) told to Mufazzil,” O
Mufazzil! Allah has selected one group from His creatures who attend to the needs of
our poor Shias. In return for this Allah will award Heaven to them. Therefore, to the
best of your ability help them.and become a part of the chosen group!”
• It is narrated from Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) when a momin approaches him for help,
and he thinks that the person coming to him is a matter of felicity, and helps him
suitably, it will be the cause of our friendship for him. Our friendship is Allah’s
friendship. And if he turns down the request of the momin for help, despite having
the means to do it, Allah will put a fiery snake in his grave. This snake will trouble
him till the Day of Judgement. .Later on, it will be Allah’s decision either to punish
him or reward him. “
• It is narrated from Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) that in his view helping meet the needs
of a momin is better than performing twenty Haj pilgrimages when on each
pilgrimage one has spent a hundred thousand Dirhams.”
• Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s.) has said, “ If a momin finds another in trouble, desires
to help him, but is not in a position to come to his aid, Allah will award Heaven to
such a person.
• Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s.) said that if a person himself takes the trouble of going
to help a brother momin, then seventy five thousand angels would provide the
shadow of their wings over his head and for every step that he takes for this purpose,
Allah will add one good to the account of his deeds and pardons all his sins. Allah
will also raise the person’s status by a degree. When the person returns after
performing the good deed, the reward for performing a Haj and Umra is entered in
his record.
• The Prophet of Allah (a.s.) has said, “ When a person doesn’t come to the aid of a
momin, despite having the means of doing it, then Allah will demean him in this
world and the hereafter.
• Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) says, “ There are four types of persons on whom Allah will
Bestow Blessing on the Day of Reckoning:
1. One from whom someone bought something, but returned it and the person has
willingly accepted back his merchandise.
2. One who comes to the rescue of a person in trouble.
3. One who frees a slave..
4. One who extends a helping hand for the marriage of a poor person..
• Hazrat Ameer al Momineen (a.s.) has said,” A person who removes the danger of
fire, flood or the enemy from Muslims, Allah will pardon all his sins”
