[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."

He who introduced some good practice in Islam which was followed after him (by people) he would be assured of reward like one who followed it, without their rewards being diminished in any respect. And he who introduced some evil practice in Islam which had been followed subsequently (by others), he would be required to bear the burden like that of one who followed this (evil practice) without their's being diminished in any respect.

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever introduces a good practice that is followed, he will receive its reward and a reward equivalent to that of those who follow it, without that detracting from their reward in their slightest. And whoever introduces a bad practice that is followed, he will receive its sin and a burden of sin equivalent to that of those who follow it, without that detracting from their burden in the slightest.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us and urged us to give charity. The people seemed reluctant, until anger was seen on his face. He said it a few more times, until a man from the Ansar came with a pile of goods and gave it as charity. Then people followed suit and started giving until happiness was seen on his face. He said, "Whoever starts a good tradition will have its reward and the reward of those who do it, without any decrease in their rewards. And whoever starts an evil tradition, will bear its burden and the burden of those who do it, without any decrease in their burdens." He said this, referring to Abu Mu'awiyah, without decreasing their burdens.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon and exhorted the people to give charity. They were slow to respond until anger became apparent on his face. Then, a man from the Ansar came with a bag filled with items, and the people began to follow suit until it was seen on his face that he was delighted. He said, "Whoever starts a good practice will receive its reward and the reward of those who follow it, without reducing anything from their rewards. And whoever initiates an evil practice shall carry its burden and the burden of those who act upon it, without diminishing anything from their burdens."

[Machine] A group of people from the desert came to the Prophet ﷺ seeking advice. The Prophet ﷺ encouraged people to give charity, but they hesitated until it was evident on the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then, a man from the Ansar came with a piece of gold, and he threw it. People started following one another in giving charity until joy became apparent on the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, "Whoever starts a good tradition that is followed, then he will have a reward similar to those who follow it, without their rewards being diminished.

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ once came across a group of Bedouins and noticed their poverty and hardship. He addressed the people, praised and glorified Allah, and then commanded them to give charity. He urged them and encouraged them to do so. They hesitated until the happiness could be seen in the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then, a man came forward with a handful of leaves and gave it to him as charity. Another man followed and the people started giving charity one after another, until the happiness could be seen in the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He then said, "Whoever establishes a good practice in Islam, and it is acted upon after him, will receive its reward and the reward of those who act upon it without it detracting from their rewards. And whoever establishes an evil practice in Islam, and it is acted upon after him, will bear its burden and the burden of those who act upon it without it detracting from their burdens."
