The Reality of Saintly Miracles
وَ لَقَدْ نَصَرَکُمُ اللّٰہُ بِبَدْرٍ

Hadith even show us how to seek help from people. Here are three hadith in this regard.
1. Seek needs from the soft-hearted members of my nation; you will find sustenance.[2]
2. Seek goodness and your needs from those with appeasing faces.[3]

O servants of Allah, help me!”, as there are some servants of Allah a person does not see.”[4]
