Combining the reward for a favor and a gift for intercession

Question:
The questioner says: How do we reconcile the urging of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to reward the one who has done us a favor, with the prohibition of rewarding the one who has mediated a good intercession?

Answer:
This is a favor for which nothing is taken; this is a specific case. The urging to reward the one who has done a favor, so reward him, is a general statement that is specified by the case of the favor of intercession, for which nothing is taken. Yes. There is no contradiction. Do not rush, my brother. There is no contradiction between a general and a specific statement. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
