2 Dresses of Paradise
It is obvious from the foregoing incident that a depressed Islamic brother, if not comforted, may distance himself from the Madanī environment, though he should never leave the Madanī environment as it is like making a rod for his own back. On such an occasion, Satan also puts his evil thoughts in the heart, stepping up his efforts to ruin that Islamic brother’s afterlife. This causes many people to leave the Madanī environment. Once a person has left the Madanī environment, he may get closer or be influenced by anyone or any group, indulging in bad deeds or even embracing wrong beliefs!
Anyway, it is a very wise and reward-earning act to comfort a grief-stricken person. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘One who offers sympathies to a grief-stricken person will be made to wear the dress of piety by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. He عَزَّوَجَلَّ will shower mercy upon his soul among the souls [of others]. And the one who offers sympathies to a troubled person, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will make him wear two such dresses from the dresses of Paradise that even the (whole) world cannot be their price.’ (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsaṭ, vol. 6, pp. 429, Ḥadīš 9292)
