Authentic hadithNarrated by Bukhari & Muslim
While a man was walking on a path, he found a thorn branch on the road, so he put it aside. Allah, thus, thanked him and forgave him
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضيَ اللهُ عنهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي بِطَرِيقٍ وَجَدَ غُصْنَ شَوْكٍ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ فَأَخَّرَهُ، فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ».
Explanation
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that while a man was walking, he came across a thorny tree branch on the road that was harming the Muslims. He put it aside and moved it away from the path. So Allah thanked him for that and forgave him.
