[Machine] Read to him, and say to him, how did you hear the Prophet ﷺ say, "Whoever starts a good practice in Islam, will have the reward for it, and the reward of all who practice it, without anything being reduced from their rewards. And whoever starts an evil practice in Islam, will have the sin of it, and the sin of all who practice it, without anything being reduced from their sins."  

الطبراني:٢٤٤٨ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّرْمَقِيُّ الرَّازِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَغْرَاءَ حَدَّثَنِي مُجَالِدٌ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ هِلَالٍ قَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي أَبِي إِلَى جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

اقْرَأْ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ وَقُلْ لَهُ كَيْفَ سَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً صَالِحَةً فَاتُّبِعَ فِيهَا وَعُمِلَ بِهَا» قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ «لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ كُلِّ رَجُلٍ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً فَاتُّبِعَ فِيهَا وَعُمِلَ بِهَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ إِثْمِ كُلِّ رَجُلٍ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ إِثْمِهِمْ شَيْءٌ»
