Hadith Authentication (Takhrij al-Hadith):
[صحيح مسلم 4899]

Jurisprudence of the Hadith (Fiqh al-Hadith):
➊ Whoever acts upon the words of the one who calls towards righteousness, both those who act and the one who invites will receive reward.
➋ Cooperating with one another in good deeds is a very virtuous act and brings reward.
➌ It is permissible to seek assistance from one another within the bounds of means.
➍ The only true remover of difficulties is Allah alone, with whom are treasures without limit or end.

Takhrij:
[مسلم الامارة4899],
[تحفة الاشراف 329/7]

Benefits:
➊ Whoever guides someone to a good deed receives a reward equal to that of the one who performs it. Jarir bin Abdullah radi Allahu anhu is the narrator that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: Whoever introduces a good practice in Islam (which is established from the Book and Sunnah), for him is its reward and the reward of all those who act upon it after him, without their rewards being diminished in the least. [مسلم 1017]
➋ Whether one directly informs about a good deed, or sends someone to a place where he can receive guidance, or indicates it by gesture, or by speech, or through writing and authorship—all are included in this virtue. This includes preachers, teachers, authors, those who send students to madrasahs, and foremost among them are the mujahideen of Islam, through whom countless people have attained the blessing of Islam. The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to Ali radi Allahu anhu that if Allah guides a single person through you, it is better for you than red camels. [مسلم /2406]
That is why the status attained by the Companions radi Allahu anhum is not attained by those who come after, because the good deeds of the latter are also included in the record of the Companions due to their conveying the religion.

Takhrij:
