"مَنْ أَحْيَا سُنَّةً مِنْ سُنَّتِى قَد أُمِيتَتْ بَعْدِى فإِنَّ لَهُ مِنَ الأجْرِ مِثْلَ منْ عَمِلهَا منَ النَّاسَ لا يَنْقُصُ من أجُورِ النَّاسِ شَيئًا، وَمَنْ ابْتَدَعَ بِدْعةً لَا يرْضَاهَا اللهُ وَرَسُولُه، فإِنَّ عَليهِ مِثْلَ إِثْمٍ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنَ النَّاسِ، لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ آثَامِ النَّاسِ شَيئًا".
See similar narrations below:
Collected by Tirmidhī, Ibn Mājah, Dārimī, Aḥmad, Mālik, Bazzār, Ṭabarānī, Suyūṭīnarrated from his father, from his grandfather that the Prophet ﷺ said to Bilal bin Al-Harith: "Know." He said: "I am ready to know O Messenger of Allah!" He ﷺ said: "That indeed whoever revives a Sunnah from my Sunnah which has died after me, then for him is a reward similar to whoever acts upon it without diminishing anything from their rewards. And whoever introduces an erroneous innovation which Allah is not pleased with, nor His Messenger, then he shall receive sins similar to whoever acts upon it, without that diminishing anything from the sins of the people.'"

"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.'"

"I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Whoever revives a Sunnah of mine that dies out after I am gone, he will have a reward equivalent to that of those among the people who act upon it, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest. Whoever introduces an innovation (Bid'ah) with which Allah and his Messenger are not pleased, he will have a (burden of) sin equivalent to that of those among the people who act upon it, without that detracting from their sins in the slightest.'"

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَسُنُّ عَبْدٌ سُنَّةً صَالِحَةً يَعْمَلُ بِهَا مَنْ بَعْدَهُ إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا لَا يُنْقَصُ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَلَا يَسُنُّ عَبْدٌ سُنَّةَ سُوءٍ يَعْمَلُ بِهَامَنْ بَعْدَهُ إِلَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهَا وَوِزْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا لَا يُنْقَصُ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No one calls to guidance without having the same reward as those who follow him without diminishing their rewards at all. And no one calls to error without having the same burdens as they do without diminishing their burdens at all."

[AI] The Messenger of Allah, may peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Whoever establishes a good practice in Islam will receive the same reward as those who act upon it, without their rewards being diminished in any way. And whoever establishes an evil practice in Islam will bear the same burden as those who act upon it, without their burdens being lessened in any way."

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "It is not recommended for a servant to perform a righteous deed after it is completed except that he will have a reward similar to that of the one who performs it, while their reward will not be decreased in any way. And a servant should not acquire an evil habit after it is done except that he will be burdened with a similar sin to that of the one who carries it out, without their own burdens being lessened."

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A servant does not perform a righteous deed that he continues to do after his death, except that he will have the same reward as the one who performs it, without any decrease in their rewards. And a servant does not perform an evil deed that he continues to do after his death, except that he will bear the same burden as the one who performs it, without any decrease in their burdens."

Exponential rewards for the starters of good
“He who introduced a good practice in Islam then he will be rewarded for it and the reward of those who acted upon it without their rewards being diminished in any way.
