Sahih Muslim 209b (Book 1, Hadith 417) #7682
Rewards of Helping Others

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that Abu Talib, who defended and helped him, would be rewarded in the afterlife.

Abdullah b. al-Harith reported: I heard Abbas say: I said: Messenger of Allah, verily Abu Talib defended you and helped you; would it be beneficial for him? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes; I found him in the lowest part of the Fire and I brought him to the shallow part.
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْعَبَّاسَ، يَقُولُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا طَالِبٍ كَانَ يَحُوطُكَ وَيَنْصُرُكَ فَهَلْ نَفَعَهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ نَعَمْ وَجَدْتُهُ فِي غَمَرَاتٍ مِنَ النَّارِ فَأَخْرَجْتُهُ إِلَى ضَحْضَاحٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the rewards of helping others. It was narrated by Abdullah b. al-Harith from Abbas, who reported that he asked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ if Abu Talib, who defended and helped him, would be rewarded in the afterlife for his actions. The Prophet ﷺ replied that he found Abu Talib in the lowest part of Hellfire but brought him to a shallow part instead as a reward for his help and support towards him. This hadith teaches us to always help those around us as we will be rewarded for our good deeds both in this life and hereafter. We should also remember that Allah is All-Knowing and He will not forget any good deed done by anyone even if it goes unnoticed by people around them or they are not thanked for it at all times.
