Hadith.2108 - It is narrated from Maymun ibn Mihran, who said
"I was sitting with Imam Al-Hasan ibn Ali (as) when a man came to him and said, 'O son of the Messenger of Allah (swt), so-and-so has a debt against me, and he intends to imprison me.'
Imam Al-Hasan (as) said: 'By Allah (swt), I have no money to repay your debt.'
The man then said: 'Could you speak to him on my behalf?'
Imam Al-Hasan (as) put on his sandals.
I said to Imam (as): 'O son of the Messenger of Allah (swt), have you forgotten your i'tikaf?'
Imam (as) replied: 'I have not forgotten. But I heard my father (as) narrating from my grandfather, the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), who said: “Whoever strives to fulfill the need of his Muslim brother, it is as if he worshipped Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, for nine thousand years, fasting during the day and standing in prayer at night.”'
