Sahih Muslim 2699

Whoever relieves a believer's distress

مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الدُّنْيَا، نَفَّسَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

Man naffasa 'an mu'minin kurbatan min kurabi-d-dunya, naffasa-llahu 'anhu kurbatan min kurabi yawmi-l-qiyamah.

Whoever relieves a believer from one of the hardships of this world, Allah will relieve him from one of the hardships of the Day of Resurrection.
