Sunan Abi Dawud 5109 (Book 43, Hadith 337) #25400
Responding to Requests for Help

SUMMARY: If someone asks for help, it is important to respond and help them in any way possible.

Ibn 'Abbas reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) as saying: If anyone asks you refuge for Allah’s sake give him refuge; and if anyone asks you (for something) for Allah’s sake, give him. Sahl and Sulaiman said: if anyone calls you, respond to him. The Agreed version goes; if you do not afford to compensate him, pray Allah for him until you know that you have compensated him.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَسَهْلُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، - الْمَعْنَى - عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ مَنِ اسْتَعَاذَكُمْ بِاللَّهِ فَأَعِيذُوهُ وَمَنْ سَأَلَكُمْ بِاللَّهِ فَأَعْطُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ سَهْلٌ وَعُثْمَانُ ‏"‏ وَمَنْ دَعَاكُمْ فَأَجِيبُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ اتَّفَقُوا ‏"‏ وَمَنْ آتَى إِلَيْكُمْ مَعْرُوفًا فَكَافِئُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ وَعُثْمَانُ ‏"‏ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا فَادْعُوا اللَّهَ لَهُ حَتَّى تَعْلَمُوا أَنْ قَدْ كَافَأْتُمُوهُ
