The Shaykh : After the author (may Allah have mercy on him) had established many chapters explaining that every deed a Muslim performs is a charity for him, he began establishing new chapters in which he cites specific hadiths to explain the virtues of certain specific deeds. He said in the chapter after the one hundred and thirteenth:
"Chapter on Removing Harm".
He narrated it with his authentic chain of narration.
From Abu Barzah al-Aslami, who said:
I said, 'Messenger of Allah, show me an action by which I will enter the Garden!" He said, 'Remove harmful things from people's path.'" قلت يا رسول الله دلني على عمل يدخلني الجنة، قال : أمط الأذى عن طريق الناس
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 228

Remove أمط
"Amid" means to remove, in both word and meaning. Harm is anything that causes people distress on the road, whether it is something that obstructs travel according to the situation of today. For example, we observe that some car owners park their cars across the road, thereby obstructing traffic; this is not permissible. It is obligatory that a Muslim not obstruct the road. Rather, this hadith commands that one should remove anything that obstructs travel on the road, even if it is simple things like the things people trip over on the road, such as thorns, stones, banana peels, and the like of what causes people distress. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed to this in his saying:
Remove harmful things from people's path. أمط الأذى عن طريق الناس
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 228
