اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَرْوَانَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " مَنْ دَعَا إِلَى هُدًى كَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ مِثْلُ أُجُورِ مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ ، لَا يَنْقُصُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا ، وَمَنْ دَعَا إِلَى ضَلَالَةٍ فَعَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْإِثْمِ مِثْلُ آثَامِ مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ ، لَا يَنْقُصُ ذَلِكَ مِنَ آثَامِهِمْ شَيْئًا " .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that:` The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever calls people to true guidance, will have a reward equal to that of those who follow him, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest. And whoever calls people to misguidance, will have a (burden of) sin equal to that of those who follow him, without that detracting from their sins in the slightest.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
The concept of inviting (to good) is generally understood to mean verbal invitation, although along with this there is also a silent invitation, as people often begin to do many things simply by observing others. Therefore, a person should be alert to what kind of role he is playing in his environment.
Is he accumulating good deeds for himself, or are the misdeeds of people being recorded in his account?
In this hadith, there is glad tidings for the people of virtue, and a severe warning for those who act badly and have bad character.
