[Machine] A group of people from the Bedouin Arab tribe came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ while they were seeking the spoils of war. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ urged the people to give charity, but they hesitated until it could be seen on his face. Then a man from the Ansar (helpers of the Prophet) brought a piece of silver and threw it, and the people followed suit until it was known on his face. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever starts a good practice and is followed by others, will receive the reward of it and the equivalent reward of those who follow it, without any decrease in their own rewards. And whoever starts an evil practice and is followed by others, will carry the burden of it and the burden of those who follow it, without any decrease in their own burdens."
أَنَّ قَوْمًا أَتَوْا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ مُجْتَابِي النِّمَارِ فَحَثَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَأَبْطَئُوا حَتَّى رُئِيَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِقِطْعَةِ تِبْرٍ فَطَرَحَهَا فَتَتَابَعَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى عُرِفَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ مَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَعُمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَمِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُنْتَقَصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً عُمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهَا وَوِزْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا وَلَا يُنْقِصُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْئًا
