The merit of pointing out good and encouraging it

We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim that Abū Hurayrah related that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever calls [people] to [follow] guidance will gain a reward equivalent to all those who follow him, without that reducing their reward at all; and whoever calls [people] to error will incur a sin like the sins of all those who follow him, without that decreasing their sin at all.” ^[2].

We also relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim that Abū Mas‘ūd al-Anṣārī al-Badrī reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever points out something good will have a reward like those who practise it.” ^[3].

We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥs of al-Bukhārī and Muslim that Sahl ibn Sa‘d related that the Messenger of Allah told ‘Alī : “By Allah, for Allah to guide one person through you will be better for you than red camels.” ^[4].

We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ that he said: “Allah continues to help [His] servant as long as [His] servant helps his brother.” ^[5].The hadiths in this regard are many in the Ṣaḥīḥs, and are well-known.
