Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عَهْ
دِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمْسَكَ الْقَوْمُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْطَاهُ فَأَعْطَى الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ سَنَّ خَيْرًا فَاسْتُنَّ بِهِ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهُ وَمِنْ أُجُورِ مَنْ يَتَّبِعُهُ غَيْرَ مُنْتَقِصٍ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا وَمَنْ سَنَّ شَرًّا فَاسْتُنَّ بِهِ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهُ وَمِنْ أَوْزَارِ مَنْ يَتَّبِعُهُ غَيْرَ مُنْتَقِصٍ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْئًا

English Translation
It was narrated from Hudhayfa ibn al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'A man begged in the time of the Prophet ﷺ, and the people held back. Then one man gave to him, and then the people gave. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever sets a good precedent that is followed shall have its reward and a share of the reward of all who follow it, without their rewards being diminished. And whoever sets a bad precedent that is followed shall bear its burden and a share of the burden of all who follow it, without their burdens being diminished."'
