from his father that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever starts a good tradition which is followed, then for him is a reward, and the likes of their rewards of whoever follows him, there being nothing diminished from their rewards. And whoever starts a bad tradition which is followed, then for him is the sin, and the likes of the sins of whoever follows him, there being nothing diminished from their sins."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةَ خَيْرٍ فَاتُّبِعَ عَلَيْهَا فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ وَمِثْلُ أُجُورِ مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ غَيْرَ مَنْقُوصٍ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا وَمَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةَ شَرٍّ فَاتُّبِعَ عَلَيْهَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهُ وَمِثْلُ أَوْزَارِ مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ غَيْرَ مَنْقُوصٍ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْئًا وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ  

"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.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَعُمِلَ بِهَا كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَمِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا لاَ يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا وَمَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً فَعُمِلَ بِهَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهَا وَوِزْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ لاَ يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْئًا  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever introduces a good practice that is followed after him, will have a reward for that and the equivalent of their reward, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest. Whoever introduces an evil practice that is followed after him, will bear the burden of sin for that and the equivalent of their burden of sin, without that detracting from their burden in the slightest.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَعُمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَمِثْلُ أُجُورِهِمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا وَمَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً فَعُمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهُ وَمِثْلُ أَوْزَارِهِمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْئًا  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever introduces a good practice that is followed after him, will have a reward for that and the equivalent of their reward, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest. Whoever introduces an evil practice that is followed after him, will bear the burden of sin for that and the equivalent of their burden of sin, without that detracting from their burden in the slightest.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 207)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةَ ضَلَالٍ فَاتُّبِعَ عَلَيْهَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ أَوْزَارِهِمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةَ هُدًى فَاتُّبِعَ عَلَيْهَا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أُجُورِهِمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever establishes a good tradition in Islam will receive its reward and the reward of those who follow it, without decreasing anything from their rewards. And whoever establishes a bad tradition in Islam will bear its sin and the sin of those who follow it, without decreasing anything from their sins."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَأَجْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْيُنْتَقَصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهَا وَوِزْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُنْتَقَصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ  

"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.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 203)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً عُمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُنْقَصَ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ وِزْرِ مَنْ يعَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُنْقَصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِم شَيْءٌ»  

[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."  

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحَثَّ النَّاسَ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَأَبْطَئُوا حَتَّى بَانَ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْغَضَبُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ جَاءَ بِصُرَّةٍ فَتَتَابَعَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى رُئِيَ فِي وَجْهِهِ السُّرُورُ فَقَالَ «مَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهُ وَمِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُنْقَصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهُ وَمِثْلُ وِزْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُنْقَصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ»  

[Machine] A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to encourage people to give charity until it could be seen in his face. Then a man from the Ansar came with a gift and presented it to the Prophet ﷺ. The joy could be seen in the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, "Whoever establishes a good practice in Islam and someone practices it after him, both receive a reward for it and the reward of everyone who acts upon it does not diminish in any way. And whoever establishes a bad practice in Islam and someone practices it after him, carries the burden of both and the burden of everyone who acts upon it does not diminish in any way."  

سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَثَّ النَّاسَ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ حَتَّى رُؤِيَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِذَهَبَةٍ فَنَبَذَهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَرُؤِيَ السُّرُورُ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَعُمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَمَثَلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَعُمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهَا وَمَثَلُ وِزْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ»  

[Machine] 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."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَلَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا فِي أَنْ لَا يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً فَعَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ وِزْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا فِي أَنَّهُ لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Whoever establishes a good Sunnah (practice) in Islam, and it is acted upon after him, he will be rewarded and those who act upon it after him will not have their reward reduced in any way. And whoever establishes a bad Sunnah (practice) in Islam, and it is acted upon after him, he will bear the burden of sin for it and those who act upon it after him will not have their burden reduced in any way."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَسُنُّ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَيُعْمَلُ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَيُعْمَلُ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِلَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ أَوْزَارِ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ»  

"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.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 203)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَيُعْمَلُ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ كُتِبَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا وَلَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَجْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً فَعُمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ وِزْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا وَلَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ»  

“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. And he who introduced an evil practice in Islam then he bears its burden and the burden of those who acted upon it without their burdens being diminished in any way.”  

«مَن سَنَّ في الإِسْلامِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَلَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَأَجْرُ من عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنْ غَيرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهم شَيئًا، ومَن سَنَّ في الإِسْلامِ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً فَعَلَيهِ وزْرُهَا، وَوزْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِه مِن غَيرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ من أَوْزَارِهمْ شَيئًا.»  

"مَنْ سَنَّ في الإِسْلامِ خَيرًا فَاسْتُنَّ بهِ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهُ وَمِثْلُ أُجُورِ مَنْ تَبعَه من غير أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِن أُجُورهم شَيئًا، ومَن سَنَّ شَرّا (*) فَاسْتُنَّ بِهِ كَانَ عَلَيهِ وزْرُه وَمِثْلُ أَوْزَار مَن تَبعَه مِن غَير أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِن أَوْزَارهم شَيئًا".  

"مَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةَ هُدًى فَاتُّبِعَ عَلَيهَا كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَأَجْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بهَا مِنْ غَيرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهم شَيئًا، ومن سَنَّ سُنَّةَ ضَلالةٍ فَاتُّبِعَ عَلَيهَا كَانَ عَلَيهِ مِثْلُ أَوزَارِهم مِن غَيرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِن أَوْزَارِهم شَيئًا".  

"مَن اسْتَسنَّ خَيرًا فَاسْتُنَّ به كَانَ لَه أَجرُه كَامِلًا ومِن أُجُور منْ اسْتَنَّ به ولا يَنْتَقِصُ من أُجُورِهم شَيئًا، ومن اسْتَسنَّ سُنَّةً سيِّئَةً فَاسْتُنَّ بِه فَعلَيهِ وزره كَامِلًا ومِن أَوزَارِ الَّذِين اسْتَنُّوا به ولا ينْتَقِصُ من أَوْزَارهم شَيئًا".
