أَخْبَرَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ شُجَاعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَاهُ عَاصِمٌ ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ ، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :" مَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً عُمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ، كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُنْقَصَ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْءٌ، وَمَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً، كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ وِزْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُنْقَصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ "

Al-Walid bin Shuja’ told us, Sufyan bin Uyaynah told us, Asim told us, on the authority of Shaqiq, on the authority of Jarir, may God be pleased with him, he said: The Messenger of God said God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him: “Whoever establishes a good Sunnah that is followed by it will be followed, he will have a reward similar to that of whoever acted upon it, without it being diminished.” His reward is one thing, and whoever initiates an evil practice, there will be a burden equal to that of those who practice it, without any of their burdens being diminished.”
