Benevolence and charity are the pillars of humanity. Eternally men are social and It is the duty of every human to take care of the other. Through this mutual cooperation the human race can achieve perfection. The Holy Scriptures says that the share of poor and needy persons has been fixed in the wealth of riches. This just due should be transferred without any hesitation otherwise the system will fail and result in hindrances in the way of overall human development.
Once a person said to Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad; that what a good there is in giving to person who is not of worth. Benevolence is like a torrential rain which showers on fields as well as the wasteland without any discrimination, replied Imam Hussein. So why should we make such differences. If a person is in need he should be helped even though he may be your worst enemy, he added.
Prophet Muhammad used to say that there is no worship greater then charity and benevolence. And if we have no time asked one of his companions, he replied; At least one can pick the stones from the public streets so that they may not get hurt.
Saf'wan reports that he was accompanying Imam Hussein when a person came to him. He was in some sort of problem and Hussein ordered me to solve it. I left with him and returned after some time. Allah had made it all right I said. By offering your little time you have earned the benefit of more then thousand prayers said the Imam to me says Saf'wan.
There is another instance when a person went to Imam Hasan for a help who readily agreed for. On the way he found his elder brother Hussein and enquired the person for not asking help from him. He was in I'tikaf (a prayer in which person affray himself from the social life for a limited period), so I thought it better not to disturb him. By God he may have not found a better opportunity to help you said Imam Hasan. For, he thinks that helping a needy person worthy then in I'tikaf for hundred days.
By the following citations one can understand that an act of benevolence is better than thousand worships. Even Allah loves such attitude of human beings.
