Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #29103

Mahmoud bin Ghaylan told us, he said, Abu Usama told us, he said, Al-A’mash told us, on the authority of Abu Salih, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, he said, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said And peace be upon him: “Whoever relieves his brother of the distress of this world, God will relieve him of the distress of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever will cover A Muslim, God will cover him in this world and the hereafter, and whoever makes things easy for someone in difficulty, God will make things easy for him in this world and the hereafter, and God helps the servant no matter what he is. The servant helps his brother, and whoever follows a path seeking knowledge, God will make easy for him a path to Paradise, and no people sit in a mosque. They recite the Book of God and discuss it among themselves, except that tranquility descends upon them, mercy covers them, the angels protect them, and whoever delays... Because of his deeds, his lineage was not quickened by him.” Abu Issa said: Thus, more than one person narrated on the authority of Al-A’mash, on the authority of Abu Salih, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, on the authority of The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, narrated such a hadith. Asbat bin Muhammad narrated on the authority of Al-A’mash. He said, “I narrated it on the authority of Abu Salih, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him.” He mentioned some of this hadith.
