Sahih
Sahih Muslim · 2699·Narrated by Abu Hurayrah (RA)

مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الدُّنْيَا نَفَّسَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ يَسَّرَ عَلَى مُعْسِرٍ يَسَّرَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَمَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ

Man naffasa 'an mu'minin kurbatan min kurabil-dunyā, naffasallāhu 'anhu kurbatan min kurabi yawmil-qiyāmah. Wa man yassara 'alā mu'sirin, yassarallāhu 'alayhi fid-dunyā wal-ākhirah. Wa man satara musliman, satarahullāhu fid-dunyā wal-ākhirah

Translation

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Whoever relieves a believer of a distress from the distresses of this world, Allah will relieve him of a distress from the distresses of the Day of Resurrection. Whoever eases the burden of one in hardship, Allah will ease for him in this world and the next. Whoever conceals a Muslim's faults, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the next."
