Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection.”
BITS ‘N’ PIECES
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Umar (R.A):
Allah’s Apostle (S.A.W) said, “A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor.
Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfil his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection.”
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 43, Number 622

While some birds – like warblers, herons, and flycatchers – can fly backwards briefly for a very short distance (mainly as a defensive strategy), only one bird has the ability to fly backwards for a significant amount of time: the hummingbird.
Native to the Americas, hummingbirds are small and have long beaks. They feed on flower nectar and consume small insects. Their name comes from the humming sound created by their beating wings which flap at high frequencies.
The structure of their wings enables these unique birds to fly backwards and even upside down. This ability comes from a ball and socket joint that gives them greater span of movement and lets them move their wings in all directions, allowing them to hover in one spot and move up, down, backwards, and forwards. This allows the hummingbirds to move from flower to flower with ease and collect nectar to provide energy needed for their high metabolism.
Other birds lack the ability to perform these impressive manoeuvres as their wing structures – powerful muscles pulling the wing down, weaker muscles pulling the wing back up – only let them propel forward by forcing the surrounding air backwards.
