Syedna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: People were troubled by a tree on the road, so a man cut it down and removed it from the path, and because of this, he was admitted to Paradise.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: There was a tree in the path of the people, which caused them trouble.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Barzah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I killed ‘Abd al-‘Uzza bin Khatal while he was clinging to the covering of the Ka‘bah, and I said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! Tell me of an action from which I may benefit. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Remove harmful things from the road, for this will be charity for you.

(In one narration): I said: O Messenger of Allah! Inform me of something through which Allah will benefit me. You (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Behold, remove from the path whatever causes harm to people.
