[118] Here, in the context of the subject, a good recommendation means that whoever encourages the Muslims for jihad will also have a share in their jihad, and those hypocrites who discourage them will also have a share in that. However, this ruling is general, as is evident from the following hadith:
The Reward for the One Who Intercedes:
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa ؓ that when a petitioner would come to the Prophet ﷺ or someone would ask him for something, the Prophet ﷺ would say to the companions, "Intercede, you will be rewarded for it, and Allah brings about what He wills through the tongue of His Prophet." [بخاری، کتاب الزکوٰۃ، باب التحریض علی الصدقۃ و الشفاعۃ فیہا مسلم، کتاب البر والصلۃ والادب۔ باب استحباب الشفاعہ فیما لیس بحرام]
Similarly, if someone intercedes for a thief and gets him released, and he continues to steal, then the one who interceded will also continue to have a share in his sin.
