Thus, the ḥadith shows that Allah, exalted is He, takes it upon Himself to aid whoever comes to his brother’s aid—whether in the very need the servant is working to fulfill or in the servant’s own affairs. By doing so the servant receives from Allah a level of assistance he would never have obtained had he not helped his brother. Although Allah is the One who helps His servant in every matter, His help increases when the servant is helping his brother.
-
It follows that a believer should busy himself with attending to his brother’s needs, giving them priority over his own, so that he may receive from Allah complete assistance in his own concerns.

These statements make clear that Allah recompenses a servant in kind, rewarding him according to the nature of his deed.
