Hadith of the week

Abu Juhayfah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, Whoever establishes a good practice that is acted upon after him, he will have a reward like the others without decreasing their rewards at all. Whoever establishes an evil practice that is acted upon after him, he will have the burden of sin like the others without decreasing their burdens at all.
