[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever conceals a Muslim in this world, Allah will conceal him in this world and the Hereafter. And whoever relieves a distressed person, Allah will relieve him of one of the sorrows of the Day of Resurrection. And whoever helps his brother in need, Allah will be there for his needs."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا فِي الدُّنْيَا سَتَرَهُ اللهُ ﷻ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَمَنْ نَجَّى مَكْرُوبًا فَكَّ اللهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ كَانَ فِي حَاجَةِ أَخِيهِ كَانَ اللهُ ﷻ فِي حَاجَتِهِ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection .

A Muslim is the brother of a fellow-Muslim. He should neither commit oppression upon him nor ruin him, and he who meets the need of a brot'ier, Allah would meet big needs, and he who relieved a Muslim from hardship Allah would relieve him from the hardships to which he would be put on the Day of Resurrection, and he who did not expose (the follies of a Muslim) Allah would conceal his follies on the Day of Resurrection.
