And the one who agrees with the religious ruling does not go beyond it in reward; rather, he has two when he is correct (Agreeing with the religious command always earns reward)

The Shaykh : He said: "And the one who agrees with the religious ruling does not go beyond it in reward ***" The one who agrees with the religious ruling—what is the religious ruling?
The student: The Shari'ah ruling.
The Shaykh : The Shari'ah ruling, but "religious" here is an attribute for an omitted word, estimated to be "the religious command" or "the religious ruling." "Does not go beyond it in reward" means that he must receive a reward, unlike the one who agrees with the cosmic command, who may be blamed or may miss out on praise and satisfaction. As for the one who agrees with the religious command, he does not go beyond his reward.
"*** Rather, he has two when he is correct" If he hits the mark, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 3732 Yes.

The Shaykh : Yes, yes, very good.

When a judge gives a decision having tried his best to decide correctly and is right, he will have a double reward; and when he gives a decision having tried his best to decide correctly and is wrong, he will have a single reward.
