Sahih Muslim 1893a (Book 33, Hadith 195) #12005
Rewarded for Guiding Others to Good

SUMMARY: A man asked the Prophet for a riding beast, and the Prophet encouraged another man to help him find one, saying that whoever guides someone to do something good will be rewarded.

It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari who said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah and said: My riding beast has been killed, so give me some animal to ride upon. He (the Holy Prophet) said: I have none with me. A man said: Messenger of Allah, I can guide him to one who will provide him with a riding beast. The Messenger of Allah said: One who guides to something good has a reward similar to that of its doer.
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِي كُرَيْبٍ - قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أُبْدِعَ بِي فَاحْمِلْنِي فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا عِنْدِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَا أَدُلُّهُ عَلَى مَنْ يَحْمِلُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مَنْ دَلَّ عَلَى خَيْرٍ فَلَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ فَاعِلِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that when we guide others towards doing good deeds or helping them in any way possible, we will be rewarded by Allah. The Prophet Muhammad was asked for help in finding a riding beast and he could not provide it himself. However, he encouraged another person to help the man find one and promised him a reward from Allah if he did so. This shows us that even small acts of kindness can be rewarded by Allah if done with sincerity and with the intention of pleasing Him. We should always strive to do good deeds and encourage others around us to do so as well because it is an act of worship which will bring us closer to Allah.
