Chasidut zu Schemot 23:5
כִּֽי־תִרְאֶ֞ה חֲמ֣וֹר שֹׂנַאֲךָ֗ רֹבֵץ֙ תַּ֣חַת מַשָּׂא֔וֹ וְחָדַלְתָּ֖ מֵעֲזֹ֣ב ל֑וֹ עָזֹ֥ב תַּעֲזֹ֖ב עִמּֽוֹ׃ (ס)
Siehst du den Esel deines Hassers zusammenbrechen unter seiner Last, und du wolltest unterlassen, es ihm leichter zu machen — mache es ihm leichter.
Noam Elimelech
You must not see the donkey of your brother (Deut. 22:4) crouching under his burden (Ex. 23:5) etc - that a person that busies themselves with the issues and businesses of this world, behold, the world is like a burden for them, and they crouch under its burden, and the text says "you must not ignore": this is a warning for the tzadik to pray for that person. And this is easy to understand.
