Hadith 9132
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ دَعَا إِلَى هُدًى كَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ مِثْلُ أُجُورِ مَنْ يَتَّبِعُهُ لَا يَنْقُصُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا وَمَنْ دَعَا إِلَى ضَلَالَةٍ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْإِثْمِ مِثْلُ آثَامِ مَنْ يَتَّبِعُهُ لَا يَنْقُصُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ آثَامِهِمْ شَيْئًا
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever calls towards guidance will have a reward equal to the rewards of those who follow him, without their rewards being diminished in the least. Likewise, whoever calls towards misguidance will bear a sin equal to the sins of those who follow him, without their sins being diminished in the least.
Hadith 9133
عَنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَأَجْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُنْتَقَصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وَزْرُهَا وَوِزْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُنْتَقَصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever initiates a good practice in Islam, he will have its reward and the reward of those who act upon it after him, without their rewards being diminished in the least. Similarly, whoever introduces an evil practice in Islam, he will bear its sin and the sin of those who adopt it after him, without their sins being diminished in the least.
Hadith 9134
عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمْسَكَ الْقَوْمُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْطَاهُ فَأَعْطَى الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ سَنَّ خَيْرًا فَاسْتُنَّ بِهِ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهُ وَمِنْ أُجُورِ مَنْ تَبِعَهُ غَيْرَ مُنْتَقِصٍ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا وَمَنْ سَنَّ شَرًّا فَاسْتُنَّ بِهِ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وَزْرُهُ وَمِنْ أَوْزَارِ مَنْ تَبِعَهُ غَيْرَ مُنْتَقِصٍ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْئًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: A man asked during the time of Prophethood, but the people did not give him anything. Then another man gave him something, and seeing this, other people also gave him something. Observing this situation, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever initiates a good practice and then it is adopted, he will receive its reward as well as the reward of those who follow it, while nothing will be diminished from their own rewards. And whoever establishes a bad practice and then it is adopted, he will bear its sin as well as the sins of those who follow it, while nothing will be diminished from their sins.
Hadith 9135
عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أُبْدِعَ بِي فَاحْمِلْنِي قَالَ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أَحْمِلُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَلَكِنْ ائْتِ فُلَانًا فَأَتَاهُ فَحَمَلَهُ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ دَلَّ عَلَى خَيْرٍ فَلَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ فَاعِلِهِ
Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: “My mount has become exhausted, so please provide me with a mount.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I do not have a mount, but go to so-and-so, (he will provide you with a mount).” So he went to that man, and indeed he gave him a mount. Then he returned to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him about it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever guides to a good deed, he will have a reward equal to that of the one who performs it.”
Hadith 9136
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) نَحْوُهُ وَفِيهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا أَدُلُّهُ عَلَى مَنْ يَحْمِلُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ دَلَّ عَلَى خَيْرٍ فَلَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ فَاعِلِهِ
(Second chain) A similar hadith has been narrated, except that in it: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I do not have a mount. Upon hearing this, a man said: O Messenger of Allah! Shall I not guide him to a person who will provide him with a mount? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever guides to a good deed, he will have a reward equal to that of the one who performs it.
Hadith 9137
عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ أَتَاهُ اذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ الدَّالَ عَلَى الْخَيْرِ كَفَاعِلِهِ
Sayyiduna Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a man who came to him: Go, for indeed the one who guides to goodness is like the one who does it.

Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Mu'adh! For Allah to guide a polytheist through you is better for you than red camels.

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ سَائِلٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ اشْفَعُوا تُؤْجَرُوا وَلْيَقْضِ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ مَا أَحَبَّ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a beggar asked a question.

Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I not inform you of a rank superior to prayer, fasting, and charity? The people said: Yes, indeed. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Reconciling relations among kin, and causing discord in relationships is something that shaves (the religion).
