ذِكْرُ رَجَاءِ الْغُفْرَانِ لِمَنْ أَمَاطَ الْأَذَى عَنِ الْأَشْجَارِ، وَالْحِيطَانِ إِذَا تَأَذَّى الْمُسْلِمُونَ بِهِ

The Prophet ﷺ said: A man never did a good deed but removed a thorny branch from the road; it was either in the tree and someone cut it and threw it on the road, or it was lying in it, he removed it. Allah accepted this good deed of his and brought him into Paradise. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5245)  

ابن حبّان:٥٤٠أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ بْنِ وَرْدَانَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «نَزَعَ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ خَيْرًا قَطُّ غُصْنَ شَوْكٍ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ إِمَّا كَانَ فِي شَجَرَةٍ فَقَطَعَهُ فَأَلْقَاهُ وَإِمَّا كَانَ مَوْضُوعًا فَأَمَاطَهُ فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا فَأَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ»

"نَزعَ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ خَيْرًا قَطُّ غُصْنَ شَوْكٍ عَنِ الطَّرِيق، إِمَّا كانَ في شَجَرَةٍ فَقَطَعَهُ فأَلقاهُ، وإِمَّا كَانَ مَوْضُوعًا فَأَمَاطهُ، فَشَكَرَ الله لَهُ بِهَا فأَدْخَلَهُ الجَنَّةَ".
