2945. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever alleviates a burden among the burdens of the world for his brother, Allāh alleviates a burden among the burdens of the Day of Judgement for him. And whoever covers (the faults) of a Muslim, Allāh covers him in the world and in the Hereafter. And whoever makes things easy for one in dire straits, Allāh makes things easy for him in the world and the Hereafter. Allāh is helping as long as the (His) Slave is helping his brother. And whoever takes a path to gain knowledge, Allāh makes a path to Paradise easy for him. And no people sit in a Masjid reciting Allāh's Book, studying it among themselves, except that the tranquility descends upon them and
they are enveloped in the mercy, and surrounded by the angels. And whoever is slow in his deeds, his lineage shall not speed him up.”[1]
(Sāḥih)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This is how it was reported by more than one narrator from Al-A’mash, from Abū Sāliḥ, from Abū Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ, and it is similar to this Ḥadīth. Asbāt bin Muḥammad reported from Al-A’mash, that he said: “It has been narrated to me, from Abū Sāliḥ, from Abū Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ” and he mentioned part of this Ḥadīth.

Commentary
Many good results of many deeds and lots of worldly and religious benefits have been mentioned in this Ḥadīth. (1) All humans are Allāh’s creation. Therefore, removing any calamity and difficulty from them is a means of warding off one’s own troubles on the Last Day; because Allāh will recompense a Muslim according to his deeds. (2) He who keeps hidden the sins of a good, noble and simple person, that he has done neglectfully, mistakenly or forgetfully, due to his human weakness, and he is ashamed of the sins, he is afraid of the sins being disclosed; whoever knows about all this, he does not disgrace and debase his brother by disclosing and revealing his mistakes and sins.
