Chasidut sur Le Deutéronome 22:4
לֹא־תִרְאֶה֩ אֶת־חֲמ֨וֹר אָחִ֜יךָ א֤וֹ שׁוֹרוֹ֙ נֹפְלִ֣ים בַּדֶּ֔רֶךְ וְהִתְעַלַּמְתָּ֖ מֵהֶ֑ם הָקֵ֥ם תָּקִ֖ים עִמּֽוֹ׃ (ס)
Tu ne dois pas voir l’âne ou le bœuf de ton frère s’abattre sur la voie publique et te dérober à eux: tu es tenu de les relever avec lui.
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.
