Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Hisham from Tabuk says: He asks about the hadith of the Messenger
If anyone establishes a good sunna in Islam he will have a reward for it and the equivalent of the rewards of those who act upon itصلى الله عليه وسلم من سن في الإسلام سنة حسنة فله أجرها وأجر من عمل بها
Mishkat al-Masabih 210
until the Day of Resurrection. What is the meaning of this hadith? And what is intended by reviving the Sunnah?

Answer:
He who sets a good precedent in Islamمن سن في الإسلام سنة حسنة
Sahih Muslim 1017a
It means he revived a Sunnah. He is not the one who established the Sunnah, but he revived a Sunnah that Allah the Exalted had legislated and the people had neglected. He performed it and revived it. The reason for the hadith is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was approached by some hungry people, so he encouraged the Muslims to give charity. He encouraged the Muslims to give charity. To give charity. So they all came, each giving what Allah had made easy for him. Then a man came with a bundle of gold; his hand was almost unable to carry it, whether it was gold or silver, his hand was almost unable to carry it. He placed it before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) brightened, and he said: “Whoever introduces in Islam,” meaning revives a Sunnah, meaning revives a Sunnah, he will have the reward of it and the reward of everyone who acts upon it. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
