Calling to right guidance and forbidding depravity

- وعن أبي مسعود عقبة بن عمرو الأنصاري البدري رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ من دل على خير فله مثل أجر فاعله ] رواه مسلم

 Abu Mas`ud `Uqbah bin `Amr Al-Ansari Al-Badri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Whoever guides someone to virtue will be rewarded equivalent to him who practices that good action".
[Muslim].

Commentary: The statement quoted in this Hadith was made by the Prophet (PBUH) when, on a certain occasion, someone requested him to give an animal for riding. The Prophet (PBUH) replied that he did not have any. A man who was present there said that he could show him the man who could help him in the matter. This is how the Prophet (PBUH) revealed the reward of directing people to good deeds, which is mentioned in this Hadith.
