Hazrat Abuzar records the dialogue he once had with the Prophet (PBUH). He asked the Prophet which were the best acts and the Prophet answered:
Belief in Allah and struggle in His path. I enquired releasing which kind of bondman was of better significance. He said that bondman whose price was the highest, and who was refined and trusted in the eyes of his master,. Then I said if I had no capacity to buy his release. He said if so, I should help a man whose children were being wasted because of poverty, or assist a person who was unskilled. I asked if I could not do even this. He answered that I should guard others from my wickedness. This was also a kind of offering on myself.
In another version of the same tradition it has been narrated with a little difference. Instead of the words, 'the person in poverty' 'the man with craft' have been used. The man with craft-skilled in some discipline-could be helped with financial aid, technical assistance, appliances or machines, or finding market facilities for him. Generally nobody thinks of helping a skilled craftsman. He too has his own problems, and sometimes the problem could be of a technical nature.
After this, it has been commanded to help a man without any skill. [ rendering help, priority is to be accorded to skilled people. And then unskilled people who could not do their own work properly should be helped. If this trend of helping the skilled technician to do better, and the unskilled people to learn something useful, becomes a social commitment there would be a great social upliftment. It would certainly help in solving the economic problems of the weaker section.
