Sunnah [Tradition]

Whoever establishes a good habitual practice that people follow even after him, he will get his own reward for it as well as the like of their reward for performing it, without any decrease in their reward thereof.

رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :  صاحِبُ السُّنَّةِ إن عَمِلَ خَيراً قُبِلَ مِنهُ ، وإن خَلَطَ غُفِرَ لَهُ . كنز العمّال : 911 .

 The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'When someone adherent to [the Prophet's] practises does something good it is accepted from him, and even if he makes a mistake, he is forgiven for it.' Kanz al-Ummal, no. 911

رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :  مَن سَنَّ سُنَّةً حَسَنةً عُمِلَ بها مِن بَعدِهِ كانَ لَهُ أجرُهُ ومِثلُ اُجُورِهِم مِن غَيرِ أن يَنقُصَ مِن اُجُورِهم شيئاً ، ومَن سَنَّ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً فَعُمِلَ بها بَعدَهُ كانَ علَيهِ وِزرُهُ ومِثلُ أوزارِهِم مِن غَيرِ أن يَنقُصَ مِن أوزارِهِم شيئاً . كنز العمّال : 43079 .

 The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Whoever establishes a good habitual practice that people follow even after him, he will get his own reward for it as well as the like of their reward for performing it, without any decrease in their reward thereof. And whoever establishes an evil habitual practice that is followed by people after him, he will be responsible for the burden of his own sin as well as the burden of their sins, without any decrease in their burdens thereof.'
