"مَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً عُمِلَ بها بَعْدَهُ كَانَ لَه أَجْرُهُ وَمِثْلُ أُجُورِهم مِنْ غَيرِ أَن يَنْتَقِصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيئًا، وَمَنْ سَنَ سُنَّةً سيِّئَةً فَعُمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ كَانَ عَلَيهِ وزْرُهَا وَمِثَلُ أَوْزَارِهمْ مِنْ غَيرِ أَنْ يَنْتَقِصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيئًا".

"مَنْ أَحْيَا سُنَّةً مِنْ سُنَّتِى فَعَمِل بِهَا النَّاسُ، فإن لَهُ أَجْرُ مِثْل مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيئًا، وَمَنْ ابْتَدعً بِدْعَةً فَعَمِلَ بِهَا كَانَ عَلَيهِ أَوْزَارُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا، لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيئًا".  

[هـ] ابن ماجة عن كثير بن عبد الله بن عمرو بن عوف عن أبيه عن جده
