Abu Mas’ud al-Ansari said : A man came to the prophet (May peace be upon him) and said: Messenger of Allah! I have been left without a mount. So give me a mount. He replied: I have no mount to give, but go to so and so; he may perhaps give you a mount. He then went to him and he gave him a mount. He came to the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) and informed him about it. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said: if anyone guides someone to a good (deed), he will get the reward like the reward of the one who does it.
The hadith also encourages people to seek out assistance when needed without feeling ashamed or embarrassed about asking for help. It is important for us to remember that everyone needs help at some point in their lives and there is no shame in asking for assistance from those around you or even strangers if necessary.
