ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمُؤَذِّنَ يَكُونُ لَهُ كَأَجْرِ مَنْ صَلَّى بِأَذَانِهِ

A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: My riding beast has been killed, so give me some animal to ride upon. He (the Holy Prophet) said: I have none with me. A man said: Messenger of Allah, I can guide him to one who will provide him with a riding beast. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: One who guides to something good has a reward similar to that of its doer. (Using translation from Muslim 1893a)
