Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب العلم باب ما جاء الدال على الخير كفاعله
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْكُوفِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍعَنْ شَبِيبِ بْنِ بِشْرٍعَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِىَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلٌ يَسْتَحْمِلُهُ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ عِنْدَهُ مَا يَتَحَمَّلُهُ فَدَلَّهُ عَلَى آخَرَ فَحَمَلَهُ. فَأَتَى النَّبِىَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الدَّالَّ عَلَى الْخَيْرِ كَفَاعِلِهِ. وَفِى الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِى مَسْعُودٍ الْبَدْرِىِّ وَبُرَيْدَةَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
A man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, asking for a mount. The Prophet could not find him a mount, so he guided him to someone else who provided him with it. The man came back to the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and informed him of that. Thereupon the Prophet said, "Indeed, the one who guides to good is equally rewarded as the one who does it."
