It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah Bajali (may Allah be pleased with him) that an Ansari came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) carrying a pouch filled with gold, and this pouch filled the man's fist. He came and said: "This pouch is dedicated in the way of Allah." Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and also gave something in charity. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and gave something as charity. Then the Muhajirun stood up and they also gave charity. Seeing this, the face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) shone to such an extent that the signs of radiance were visible on his blessed face. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever initiates a good practice in Islam and then it is acted upon after him, he will have a reward equal to all those who act upon it, while nothing will be diminished from their reward. Similarly, whoever introduces a bad practice in Islam and then it is acted upon after him, he will bear a sin equal to all those who act upon it, while nothing will be diminished from their sins."
