The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) always helped the poor and the needy and used to say, ‘Whosoever helps his brother, God helps him. Whosoever removes his Muslim brother’s affliction, God will remove this person’s affliction on the Day of Judgment. Whosoever overlooks the faults of his Muslim brothers, God will cover up his sins on the Day of Judgment.’
The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) loved God’s creatures right from his early days and enjoyed helping others. Before his prophethood, he participated in the pact of Hilf al-Fudul. The basic principle of this pact was to help the people who had been wronged. He said that participation in this pact had given him more happiness than the wealth of camels. He added that if he were called for help in the name of this pact he would surely help.
Hazrat Khadijah (ra) gave the testimony of the Holy Prophet Muhammad’s (sa) high moral values when the Holy Prophet (sa) came home after the first revelation,
وَاللَّهِ لَا يُخْزِيكَ اللَّهُ أَبَدًا إِنَّكَ لَتَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ، وَتَحْمِلُ الْكَلَّ وَتَكْسِبُ الْمَعْدُومَ وَتَقْرِي الضَّيْفَ وَتُعِيْنُ عَلَى نَوَائِبِ الْحَقِّ
It means, ‘By God, Allah will never destroy you. You discharge the obligations of your relatives, you carry the burden of the poor, you establish the high morals and virtues which have disappeared from the world and you are hospitable and help others in distress.’
