عَنْ أبِي هُريرةَ رضي الله عنه ، أنَّ رسولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَنْ دَعَا إلى هُدًى، كان لهُ مِنَ الأَجْرِ مِثْلُ أجورِ مَنْ تَبِعهُ، لا يَنقُصُ ذلك مِنْ أجُورِهم شيئًا، ومَنْ دَعَا إِلَى ضَلالَةٍ، كان عليه مِنَ الإثمِ مثلُ آثامِ مَنْ تَبِعهُ، لا يَنْقُصُ ذلك مِنْ آثامِهم شَيئًا»
Abu Hurayrah narrated that God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said:
1. Whoever advocates right guidance earns the same reward as the reward of those who follow him, without diminishing their reward in any way. 2. and whoever advocates error earns the same burden as the burdens of those who follow him, without diminishing their burdens in any way.
On the Day of Resurrection, they shall bear the full weight of their burdens, as well as some of the burdens of those ignorant ones whom they have led astray. Evil is the burden they shall bear.
(16: 25)
The unbelievers say to those who believe:
‘Follow our way and we shall indeed take your sins upon ourselves’. But never will they take upon themselves any of their sins. Liars indeed they are. (12) Yet most certainly will they bear their own burdens, and other burdens besides their own; and most certainly will they be called to account on the Day of Resurrection for all their false assertions.
(29: 12-13)
Who speaks better than he who calls people to God, does what is right, and says, ‘I am one of those who have surrendered themselves to God?’
(41: 33)
