It is narrated from Muawiyah bin Qurrah (may Allah have mercy on him) that I was with Sayyiduna Ma’qil Muzani (may Allah be pleased with him), and he removed something harmful from the road. Then I saw something and quickly went to pick it up. He asked: "My nephew! Why did you do that?" I said: "I saw you do something, so I did it too." He said: "My nephew! You did very well. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever removes something harmful from the path of the Muslims, a good deed will be written for him, and whoever has one good deed accepted will enter Paradise.'"
