[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am in debt, so please carry me (i.e. lend me some money)." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "I do not have anything to carry you on, but go to so-and-so and he will carry you." So the man went to that person and he carried him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The guide to goodness is equal to the doer of that goodness or the one who performs it."

A man came to the prophet (May peace be upon him) and said: Messenger of Allah! I have been left without a mount. So give me a mount. He replied: I have no mount to give, but go to so and so; he may perhaps give you a mount. He then went to him and he gave him a mount. He came to the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) and informed him about it. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said: if anyone guides someone to a good (deed), he will get the reward like the reward of the one who does it.
