عن ابن عمر رضي اللّه عنهما أَنَّ رسول اللّه صَلّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قال: «المُسْلِمُ أَخُو المُسْلِمِ، لا يظْلِمُه، ولا يُسْلِمهُ، منْ كَانَ فِي حَاجَةِ أَخِيهِ كَانَ اللّهُ فِي حاجتِهِ، ومَنْ فَرَّج عنْ مُسْلِمٍ كُرْبةً فَرَّجَ اللّهُ عنْهُ بِهَا كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يوْمِ الْقِيامَةِ، ومَنْ ستر مُسْلِمًا سَتَرهُ اللّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَة» متفقٌ عليه.
Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "A Muslim is a brother to another Muslim: he does not wrong him nor surrender him. Whoever fulfills the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs. Whoever relieves a Muslim of a hardship, Allah will relieve him of a hardship from the hardships of the Day of Resurrection. And whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults on the Day of Resurrection." Agreed upon.
