It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from his father from Khalaf Hammad from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar from abu Basir from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever endeavors to help his Muslim brother (in belief) and strives in it and Allah makes it (such help) possible through him, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, writes down for him the reward for one Hajj, one ‘Umrah and ‘l’tikaf (a certain form of worship) for two months in the Sacred Mosque with fasting.

If he strives without success, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, writes down for him the reward for one Hajj and one ‘Umrah.” وثق - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (9/114))
