The Reward of one who feeds a Believer, Quenches his Thirst, Clothes him or Pays off his Debt
It has been narrated that Abu Ja'far [a.s] said:
Feeding four Muslims is equal to freeing a slave from the descendants of Prophet Ishmael.
. It has been narrated that Abu 'Abd Allah [a.s] said:
If two believers were to enter the house of a believer and he were to feed them to full, this would be better than freeing a slave.”
. It has been reported that 'Ali ibn Al-Husayn [a.s] said:
Whoever feeds a hungry believer, Allah will feed him with the fruits of Paradise; and whoever gives a drink to a thirsty believer, Allah will quench his thirst (on the Day of Judgment) with an exquisite drink of Paradise; and whoever clothes a believer, Allah will clothe him with a green robe of Paradise.
According to another tradition, the Imam said:
Whoever clothes a believer will remain under the security of Allah as long as a thread of the cloth remains.
It has been reported that Abu 'Abd Allah [a.s] said:
Whoever feeds a hungry believer, Allah will feed him with the fruits of Paradise; and any believer who quenches the thirst of another believer, Allah will quench his thirst with an exquisite drink of Paradise; and any believer who clothes another believer will remains under the guard and protection of Allah as long as a shred of it remains.
It has been reported that Abu 'Abd Allah [a.s] once said to one of his companions, “O Thabit! Can you not free a slave every day?' 'May Allah make you prosper,' he replied, 'I do not have the (financial) power to do it!' 'Are you not able,' asked the Imam [a.s], 'to entertain four Muslims for lunch or dinner?' 'I am able to do,' replied the companion.
'By Allah I swear,' said the Imam [a.s], 'that is equal to free a slave.'
It has been narrated that Abu 'Abd Allah [a.s] said:
Whoever clothes a believer will remain in the mercy of Allah [M.G] as long anything of that cloth remains; and one who gives him a sip of water, Allah will quench his thirst with an exquisite drink (of Paradise); and one who satiates his hunger, Allah will feed him with the fruits of Paradise.
It has been narrated that Amir al-Mu'minin [a.s] said:
Feeding your brother a mouthful is more loveable to me than giving a dirham in charity; and giving him a dirham is more lovable to me than giving ten in charity; and giving him ten Dirhams is more loveable to me than freeing a slave.
It has been reported that Abu 'Abd Allah [a.s] said:
If any believer feeds another believer to full, Allah will feed him from the fruits of Paradise; and if he gives him a sip to drink, He will quench his thirst with an exquisite drink (of Paradise); and if he clothes him, Allah will clothe him with a green robe (of Paradise) and he will remain under the protection of Allah as long as a thread of that cloth remains.
It has been narrated that Abu Ja'far [a.s] said:
(Amongst) the qualities most loved by Allah are three: a Muslim who feeds a hungry Muslim, relieves him from a distress or settle his debt for him.
It has been reported that Abu 'Abd Allah [a.s] said:
The first gift that a believer is presented with in his grave is the forgiveness for those who accompanied his bier.
Sudayr reported: Abu 'Abd Allah [a.s] once asked me, 'What stops you from freeing a slave every day?' 'My financial status will not allow that,' I replied.
'Can you feed a Muslim every day (to equal that reward)?' the Imam [a.s] asked.
'Must that Muslim be well-to-do or poor?' I asked.
'Even the well-to-do sometimes long for food,' the Imam [a.s] replied.
It has been narrated that Abu Ja'far [a.s] said: Feeding a Muslim is equal to freeing a human being.
