Calling to guidance or to error: the like of the rewards and sins of those who follow

الدعوة إلى هدى أو ضلالة: مثل أجور وآثام من تبع

Whoever calls to guidance has a reward like the rewards of those who follow him, without anything being taken from theirs, and whoever calls to error bears a sin like the sins of those who follow him Muslim 2674 — Whoever calls to guidance earns the followers' reward; likewise whoever sets a good or a bad practice in Islam has its reward and the reward of those who act on it, or its burden and the burden of those who act on it Muslim 1017 — Whoever sets a good precedent in Islam. This is a running account that does not close when the act ends: the counter keeps going as long as someone follows, in both directions.
