مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الدُّنْيَا نَفَّسَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَمَنْ يَسَّرَ عَلَى مُعْسِرٍ، يَسَّرَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ، وَمَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِما سَتَرَهُ اللهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ، وَاَللَّهُ فِي عَوْنِ الْعَبْدِ مَا كَانَ الْعَبْدُ فِي عَوْنِ أَخِيهِ، وَمَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَلْتَمِسُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا سَهَّلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهِ طَرِيقًا إلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَما اجْتَمع قَوْمٌ في بَيْتٍ مِن بُيُوتِ اللهِ، يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللهِ، وَيَتَدَارَسُونَهُ بيْنَهُمْ، إِلَّا نَزَلَتْ عليهمِ السَّكِينَةُ، وَغَشِيَتْهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَحَفَّتْهُمُ المَلَائِكَةُ، وَذَكَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِيمَن عِنْدَهُ، وَمَن بَطَّأَ به عَمَلُهُ، لَمْ يُسْرِعْ به نَسَبُهُ
Whoever removes a worldly grief from a believer, Allah will remove from him one of the griefs of the Day of Resurrection. And whoever alleviates the need of a needy person, Allah will alleviate his needs in this world and the Hereafter. Whoever shields [or hides the misdeeds of] a Muslim, Allah will shield him in this world and the Hereafter. And Allah will aid His slave so long as he aids his brother. And whoever follows a path to seek knowledge therein, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. No people gather together in one of the Houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, except that sakeenah (tranquility) descends upon them, and mercy envelops them, and the angels surround them, and Allah mentions them amongst those who are with Him. And whoever is slowed down by his actions, will not be hastened forward by his lineage. Related by [Muslim] in these words.

خَرَجَ رَسولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ في الصُّفَّةِ، فَقالَ: أَيُّكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْدُوَ كُلَّ يَومٍ إلى بُطْحَانَ، أَوْ إلى العَقِيقِ، فَيَأْتِيَ منه بنَاقَتَيْنِ كَوْمَاوَيْنِ في غيرِ إثْمٍ، وَلَا قَطْعِ رَحِمٍ؟ فَقُلْنَا: يا رَسولَ اللهِ، نُحِبُّ ذلكَ، قالَ: أَفلا يَغْدُو أَحَدُكُمْ إلى المَسْجِدِ فَيَعْلَمُ، أَوْ يَقْرَأُ آيَتَيْنِ مِن كِتَابِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، خَيْرٌ له مِن نَاقَتَيْنِ، وَثَلَاثٌ خَيْرٌ له مِن ثَلَاثٍ، وَأَرْبَعٌ خَيْرٌ له مِن أَرْبَعٍ، وَمِنْ أَعْدَادِهِنَّ مِنَ الإبِلِ
When we were in Suffa, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out and said: Which of you would like to go out every morning to Buthan or al-‘Aqiq and bring two large she-camels without being guilty of sin or without severing the ties of kinship? We said: Messenger of Allah, we would like to do it. Upon this he said: Does not one of you go out in the morning to the mosque and teach or recite two verses from the Book of Allah. the Majestic and Glorious? That is better for him than two she-camels, and three verses are better (than three she-camels). and four verses are better for him than four (she-camels), and to on their number in camels.

الْماهِرُ بالقُرْآنِ مع السَّفَرَةِ الكِرامِ البَرَرَةِ، والذي يَقْرَأُ القُرْآنَ ويَتَتَعْتَعُ فِيهِ، وهو عليه شاقٌّ، له أجْرانِ
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “The one who is proficient in the recitation of the Qur’an will be with the honourable and obedient scribes (angels) and he who recites the Qur’an and finds it difficult to recite, doing his best to recite it in the best way possible, will have two rewards.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

ما أصابَ أحدًا قطُّ همٌّ ولا حَزنٌ فقال: اللَّهمَّ إنِّي عَبدُك، وابنُ عبدِك، وابنُ أمتِك، ناصِيَتي بيدِكَ، ماضٍ فيَّ حكمُكَ، عدْلٌ فيَّ قضاؤكَ، أسألُكَ بكلِّ اسمٍ هوَ لكَ سمَّيتَ بهِ نفسَك، أو أنزلْتَه في كتابِكَ، أو علَّمتَه أحدًا من خلقِك، أو استأثرتَ بهِ في علمِ الغيبِ عندَك، أن تجعلَ القُرآنَ ربيعَ قلبي، ونورَ صَدري، وجَلاءَ حَزَني، وذَهابَ هَمِّي، إلَّا أذهبَ اللهُ عزَّ وجلَّ همَّهُ، وأبدلَه مكانَ حَزنِه فرحًا
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “If any Muslim is afflicted with distress and makes this supplication, then his supplication will be answered: O Allah, I am your servant, the son of your servant, the son of your maidservant. My forelock is in your hand, your command concerning me prevails, and your decision concerning me is just. I call upon you by every one of the beautiful names with which you have described yourself, or which you have revealed in your Book, or you have taught to any of your creatures, or which you have chosen to keep in the knowledge of the unseen with you, to make the Quran the delight of my soul, the light of my heart, and to remove my sadness and dispel my anxiety.” The Prophet said, “If he says this, Allah will remove his affliction and replace it with joy and happiness.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, should we not learn it?” The Prophet said, “Yes, whoever hears it should know it.”
