(Fourth chain) The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: A man was walking on a path when he found a thorny branch there. He said: I will certainly remove it, perhaps Allah the Exalted will forgive me because of this. So he removed it, and Allah the Exalted forgave him and admitted him into 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. Then a man came and removed it from the people's way. Then he said that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Indeed, I saw that servant living as he wished in Paradise under the shade of that tree.

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.

(In one narration) I said: O Messenger of Allah! Guide me to such a deed that will admit me to Paradise or from which I may benefit. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Remove harmful things from the path of the Muslims.

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The good and bad deeds of my Ummah were presented before me. Among the good deeds, I saw the removal of a harmful thing from the road, and among the bad deeds, I saw phlegm in the mosque which had not been buried.

Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever removes something harmful from the path of the Muslims, Allah Almighty will record a good deed for him, and for whom a good deed is recorded, Allah Almighty will admit him into Paradise.

Musa bin Abi Isa says: One day Maryam (peace be upon her) found Isa (peace be upon him) missing and began wandering here and there in search of him. She met a weaver, but he did not guide her, so she cursed him; this is why you see that he is looked down upon. Then she met a tailor, and he guided her, so she prayed for him; for this reason, you see that people are fond of tailors, that is, people sit with them.
