'Abdullah ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them both) said:
“There are four people I am unable to repay:
1⃣- A man who gives me Salaam first.
2⃣- A man who makes room for me in a gathering.
3⃣- A man whose feet become dusty walking to fulfill my need.
4⃣- As for the fourth, then none can repay him Except Allah, the Mighty
and Majestic.
It was said: Who is he?
He replied: “A man who is struck by a matter and spends his night thinking about whom to turn to, then he considers me worthy of his need and brings it to me.”
