Showing their high ranks in the sight of Islam, the Ahl ul-Bayt (a), through their numerous commandments that achieve social and economical perfection if they are applied, urged to respect and settle all the needs of the believing individuals:
A. Feeding and Watering the Believer
The Prophet (s) said: "As for anyone who serves a believer with water, although he can obtain it, Allah will give him seventy thousand merits for each drink. As for anyone who serves water to a believer who cannot obtain water, Allah will give him the reward of the one who manumitted ten individuals from the offspring of Ishmael the prophet." 547
Imam as-Sejjad (a) said: "As for him who feeds a hungry believer, Allah will feed him from the fruits of Paradise, and as for him who waters a thirsty believer, Allah will water him from the Sealed Pure Drink." 548
Imam as-Sadiq (a) said: "As for him who feeds a believer to satiation, Allah will reward him, in the Hereafter, in such a way that none of His creatures, including the angels and the prophets, can estimate it. To feed the hungry Muslim achieves the forgiveness of Allah. Listen to Allah's saying: (It is the setting free of a slave or, in a day of famine, the feeding of an orphaned relative and downtrodden destitute person.)" 549
B. Clothing the Believer
Imam as-Sadiq (a) said: "As for anyone who provides the winter or summer clothing to his friend, Allah will, incumbently, clothe him with the dress of Paradise, alleviate his agonies of death, and enlarge his grave. Moreover, the angels will receive him, as soon as he is resurrected, with glad news. This is the meaning of Allah's saying: (The angels will come to them with this glad news: "This is your day which was promised to you." 21:103)" 550
"As for anyone who provides clothing, or supports by

any means, to a needy Muslim, Allah will appoint seven thousand angels for seeking forgiveness for him up to the day on which the Trumpet will be blown." 551
C. Settling the Believer's Need
Imam as-Sadiq (a) said "For anyone who settles the need of his believing brother, Allah, on the Day of Resurrection, will settle for him one hundred thousand needs the easiest of which is that he, as well as his believing family members, relatives, and friends, will be taken to Paradise." 552
"Any Muslim individual who settles a need for a Muslim will be called by Allah, 'I am responsible for your reward, and I will not give you anything less than Paradise.'" 553
"On the day of Resurrection, a man will be lead by an angel to Hell. In his way, he passes by a believing individual whom he knew in the worldly life and asks him for help since he used to do him favors and settle his needs in the worldly affairs. The believer then asks the angel to release that man. As Allah hears the believer's order, He orders the angel to release that man." 554
D. Gladdening the Believer
The Prophet (s) said: "The most favorable deed in the sight of Allah is gladdening the believers." 555
Imam as-Sadiq (a) said: "For anyone who gives pleasure to a believer, Allah will create a being from that pleasure to meet him at his death and bear to him the glad tidings of winning Allah's honor and satisfaction. That being will accompany him in his grave and repeat the same glad tidings. When he will be resurrected, that being will accompany him and repeat the same glad tidings. With every horror that he has to encounter, that being will accompany him to repeat the same glad tidings. Hence, he will ask, 'who are you?' That being will answer, 'I am the pleasure that you gave to so-and-so.'" 556
