2674. [Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Whoever calls to guidance, then he receives the reward similar to the reward of whoever follows him, without that diminishing anything from their rewards. And whoever calls to misguidance, then he receives of sin similar to the sins of those who followed him, without that diminishing anything from their sins.”] (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
٢٦٧٤ - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ دَعَا إِلَى هُدًى كَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ مِثْلُ أُجُورِ مَنْ يَتَّبِعُهُ لَا يَنْقُصُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا،» وَمَنْ دَعَا إِلَى ضَلَالَةٍ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْإِثْمِ مِثْلُ آثَامِ مَنْ يَتَّبِعُهُ لَا يَنْقُصُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ آثَامِهِمْ شَيْئًا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

He who works actively for good and betterment, i.e., he who calls for the practice of the Qur'an and the Sunnah by means of writing, literature, compilation, publication, its spread and propagation, preaching and exhortation, education and teaching, as long as these objects will remain and serve the purpose and the people will keep benefiting from it, the person who initiated and performed such activities will also gain the reward. A person who calls for the activities contrary to the Book, the Sunnah and the Shari'ah by any means, and he who works actively for innovation and error, so long as these evils are practised, the introducer will be equally responsible for this crime and sin, like Qābil.
