Three sayings of the Holy Rasool pertaining to the persuasion of calling towards righteousness

1. By Allah Almighty! If Allah Almighty blesses even a single person with guidance through you, then this is better for you than red camels.

(Sahih Muslim, pp. 1311, Hadees 2406)

2. One guiding to any virtue has a reward similar to that of its doer.

(Sahih Muslim, pp. 1050, Hadees 1893)

3. One inviting towards Hidayah [i.e. guidance] and goodness will be granted reward equal to all those who follow it [i.e. that guidance and goodness]. And this will cause no reduction in their reward. And one inviting towards ignorance will have sins equal to the sins of all the people following that ignorance. And this will cause no reduction in their sins. (Sahih Muslim, pp. 1438, Hadees 2674)

Renowned commentator, the great thinker of Ummah, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: If one hundred thousand people start offering Salah by the virtue of someone’s preaching, then the preacher will reap the reward of one hundred thousand Salah at the time of every Salah, and those Salah-offering people will get the reward of their own Salah. This shows that the reward of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is beyond the imagination of the creation. Allah Almighty has stated:

وَ اِنَّ لَكَ لَاَجْرًا غَیْرَ مَمْنُوْنٍۚ(۳)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And definitely for you is an everlasting reward. (Part 29, Surah Al-Qalam, Ayah 3)

Similarly, those book writers whose books are a source of guidance for people will also continue to receive the rewards of hundreds of thousands [of virtues] till the Judgement Day. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 1, pp. 160)
