One who manages the affairs of the widow and the poor man is like the one who exerts himself in the way of Allah, or the one who stands for prayer in the night and fasts in the day.

Main Teachings:

This hadith encourages the believers to fulfill the needs of the poor and the oppressed class in the society. Helping the poor in distress is worship to Allah and it is as important as obligatory prayer and fasting. Managing affairs of the needy people is such a prestigious deed that it has been placed at par with the person who strives in the way of Allah or who stands up for prayer at night and fast during the day. The prophet (PBUH) said to his wife,”O Aisha! Love the poor and let them come to you for help. Allah will then surely take you near Him on the Day of Judgment.”
