Az-Zuhri reported that a man from Bali said, "I came to visit the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with my father. My father spoke to him while I was not there. I said to my father, 'What did he say to you?' He replied, 'When you desire something, then you must proceed slowly until Allah shows you a way out of it or until Allah makes a way out for you.'"

Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyya said, "Not wise is he who does not deal correctly with a person whose company he cannot avoid until Allah appoints for him a release or a way out."

Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib related that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If anyone gives a gift or guides down a land - or a path - that, for him, is equivalent to freeing a slave."

Abu Dharr is reported as saying, "Your putting some of the water from your bucket in your brother's bucket is sadaqa. Your removing stones. thorns and bones from people's path is sadaqa. Your guiding a man in a place where there are no guides is sadaqa."

Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah curses anyone who misguides a blind person and leads him away from the path."
