مَنْ سَمِعَ شَيْئاً مِنَ الثَّوَابِ عَلَى شَيْءٍ فَصَنَعَهُ كَانَ لَهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَى مَا بَلَغَهُ.
“If one learns (from a Hadith) that for a certain act there is a certain reward and he performs that act, he will receive such reward even if, in fact, it (the Hadith) may not be as such.”
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ مَنْ بَلَغَهُ ثَوَابٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَلَى عَمَلٍ فَعَمِلَ ذَلِكَ الْعَمَلَ الْتِمَاسَ ذَلِكَ الثَّوَابِ أُوتِيَهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الْحَدِيثُ كَمَا بَلَغَهُ[1].
“I heard abu Ja’far (a.s.) saying, ‘If one learns that there is a certain reward from Allah for a certain act and he performs such act to receive such reward, he will be given the reward even if, in fact, the Hadith may not be as such that has come to him.’”
