And let him begin in that with the people of poverty, neediness, and destitution, who are in the hindrances of ordeals, for indeed he becomes liberated by his deed, and the burdens are lightened from him.
And that is because when God looks at that believer whom He has preferred with His world, entrusted with His dominion, and bestowed favors upon, and [sees that] he has shown compassion to the needy one among his brothers, so he connected with him, raised his status, presented him with gifts, equated him with himself, and connected him with his world with which God had entrusted him and bestowed upon him, God says: "This is My servant; I bestowed favors upon him and made him a possessor. He bestowed favors upon My servant—and his brother in My knowledge—with My blessing, and showed tenderness to him, connected with him, raised his status, gladdened him, and mended his heart. And I am more entitled to that deed. I will surely thank him who performed his deed, and I will surely improve his reward, and I will surely honor his abode, and I will surely do to him the like of what he did to him. And I will surely increase him from My bounty: one of his deeds [rewarded] ten[fold]."
