حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَيُّمَا دَاعٍ دَعَا إِلَی ضَلَالَةٍ فَاتُّبِعَ فَإِنَّ لَهُ مِثْلَ أَوْزَارِ مَنْ اتَّبَعَهُ وَلَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْئًا وَأَيُّمَا دَاعٍ دَعَا إِلَی هُدًی فَاتُّبِعَ فَإِنَّ لَهُ مِثْلَ أُجُورِ مَنْ اتَّبَعَهُ وَلَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 205
It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said: “Every caller who invites people to misguidance and is followed, will have a burden of sin equal to that of those who follow him, without that detracting from their burden in the slightest. And every caller who invites people to true guidance and is followed, will have a reward equal to that of those who follow Mm, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest.’” (Hasan)
