Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He asked you for help, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“I do not have anything that I can give you, go to such-and-such person.”(The narrator says) He went to that person and he gave him a gift. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Whoever guides towards goodness, then for him is a reward like that of the one who acts upon it (the narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words) like the one who acts upon it.”
