Summary
The saying comes from a narration recorded by Abdul Razzaq in his Musannaf, stating "as you act, you will be recompensed". The narration is weak because it is mursal, and its supporting narration through Ibn Umar comes from a very weak narrator, yet its meaning is correct. The meaning agrees with a hadith in Muslim that whoever eases the affairs of others will be eased by Allah, and a hadith in al-Tirmizi that whoever troubles others will be troubled by Allah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Riwayat ini dinilai sebagai daif oleh ulama hadis seperti Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani dalam Fath al-Bari namun maknanya adalah benar.
