Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 28032 — Removing harm from the road

Muhammad bin Yahya bin Habban said: A man went out with Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Mu'adh would remove any harmful thing he saw on the road. When the man saw this, he began to remove from the road everything he passed by. So Sayyiduna Mu'adh asked him: "What led you to do this?" He said: "I saw you doing it." He replied: "You have certainly done right," or he said: "You have done a good thing. For whoever removes a harmful thing from the road, one good deed is written for him; and whoever has one good deed written for him will enter Paradise."
