سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4946
Abu Hurairah reported the prophet ﷺ as saying: If anyone removes his brother’s anxiety of this world, Allah will remove for him one of the anxieties of the Day of resurrection; if anyone makes easy for an impoverished man, Allah will make easy for him in this world and on the day of resurrection; if anyone conceals a Muslim’s secrets, Allah will conceal his secrets in this world and on the Day of resurrection; Allah will remain in the aid of a servant so long as the servant remains in the aid of his brother. Abu Dawud said: Uthman did not transmit the following words from Abu Muawiyah: “if anyone makes easy for an impoverished man”.
