Rasulullah Saw said: ???? ?????????? ???? ???????? ??????? ???????????? "Whoever can benefit his brother, then let him do it"(HR. Muslim).
Sometimes you find some people who are reluctant to do something that does not harm them, even though it is useful for others, because they only take care of their personal interests. This is not the nature of a Muslim. For that reason, Umar bin Kaththab ra denounced Muhammad bin Maslamah when he blocked adh-Dhahhak ra bin Khalifah digging a water channel that flowed into his land which passed through Muhammad bin Maslamah's land.
Umar said: 'Why are you blocking something that is useful for your brother, and it is of benefit to you, you water with him the first and last, and he does not harm you ... By Allah, he must pass through it even on your stomach.'
A Muslim basically always tries to provide services to those who need it, give advice to those who don't know it, give benefits to those who have the right to receive it based on his motivation and desire.
Among the wills of the Prophet Muhammad to Abu Barzah when he said to him: O Messenger, teach me something by which Allah SWT benefits me. ' He said:
???????? ?????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???? ????????????
'Look at something that hurts humans, then get it out of their way. ' (HR Ahmad)
Providing benefits to relatives is more obligatory and more rewarding. Abu Qilabah said: 'Which man is more rewarded than someone who provides for his small family, making them behave' iffah or Allah benefit them with it, Allah help them by (intercession) Him and Him suffice them. "
Attention to intimate friends like this attracts their hearts and connects ties of friendship, a symbol of intimacy, a sign of love, evidence of affection, especially when there are small children in their family, who lose attention, affection and most important human needs.
The doors of benefits are many, Rasulullah Saw combined them with his words:
?????? ?????? ???????? ????????
"Every Muslim must give alms ..."
He made several examples according to one's ability levels:
?????????? ?????????? ?????????? ???????? ????????????? ... ?????????? ??? ?????????? ?????????????
'So he works with both hands, benefits himself and gives alms… helps those who are in great need... "
and if a believer does not do any of that:
???????????? ???? ???????? ???????? ???? ????????
"So let him refrain from doing evil, and it will become a charity to him." (HR Bukhari)
This is the lowest level of benefit, which does not deserve a Muslim to be lower than him and it is not natural for a preacher to be at that level.
Jihad is the level of highest benefit and 'uzlah is the lowest. A Badawi Arab asked: 'O Messenger of Allah, what is the best human being? He answered:
?????? ??????? ???????????? ???????? ???????? ??? ?????? ???? ???????????? ???????? ??????? ???????? ???????? ???? ???????
'A person who jihad with his soul and property and someone who lives in one of the valleys, worships his Rabb, and leaves people from their wickedness. " (Narrated by Bukhari)
People who jihad, he benefits people through the sacrifice of his soul and property, to protect them and to frighten their enemies. This is the greatest good, and people vary in goodness between the position of the warrior (mujahid) and the one who is doing'uzlah, who restrain himself from doing evil to others.
The responsibility is very large and the burden is very heavy for the person who takes care of the Muslims, because he is better able to reject harm or provide benefits because of the power he holds and the right to be obeyed by his people. In that case, the Prophet said:
… ?????? ?????? ??????? ???? ??????? ????????? ???????????? ???? ??????? ?????? ??????? ???? ???????? ?????? ??????? ???????????? ???? ???????????? ????????????? ???? ????????????.
"Whoever takes care of a little of Muhammad's people, then he is able to give harm to someone to him, or benefit someone, so let him accept the good people and forgive the bad from them. " (Narrated by Bukhari).
The Prophet (saw) made a believer as a parable always beneficial and likened to a date palm because it is always green and can benefit with everything in it, he said:
?????? ???????????? ???????? ????????? ?????? ?????? ???????????
"In fact I know the tree which is taken advantage of by it like a believer. ' (Narrated by Bukhari).
?????? ???????? ???????????? ????????
"As best as humans are the most useful for other humans. " (Saheeh Al-Jami '). *
