Brief Explanation
Explanation:
In this hadith, it is stated that the one who guides towards goodness is also deserving of reward and recompense equal to that of the one who performs the deed. That is, the one who performs the good deed receives a reward, and the one who facilitates, informs, or encourages the good deed receives an equal reward. Importantly, this does not cause any decrease in the reward of the one who actually performs the deed.
