شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ
سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ
أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ , أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَتَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُعْطِيكَ ، وَلَكِنْ ائْتِ فُلَانًا " , فَأَتَى الرَّجُلَ فَأَعْطَاهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" مَنْ دَلَّ عَلَى خَيْرٍ ، فَلَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ فَاعِلِهِ أَوْ عَامِلِهِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "My travel provisions and mount have run out, so please provide me with a mount." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "At this moment, I do not have any animal on which I can mount you." A man said, "O Messenger of Allah! Shall I not tell you of a person who can provide him with a mount?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever guides towards goodness, for him is a reward like that of the one who does it."
