Is the Hadith that states, "For you to serve your brother is better for you than my prayer in this mosque of mine," authentic?
The most beloved of people to Allah are those most beneficial to people. The most beloved of deeds to Allah is happiness you bring to a Muslim, or relieving him of a hardship, or paying off a debt for him, or driving away his hunger. Walking to fulfill a brother's need is more beloved to Allah than performing i'tikaf in the Prophet's Mosque for a month. Whoever restrains his anger, Allah will conceal his faults. Whoever suppresses his rage, Allah will fill his heart with hope on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever walks to fulfill his brother's need until it is accomplished, Allah will make his feet firm on the Day when feet will slip.
