Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ نَهِيكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ مَا مِنْ دَاعٍ يَدْعُو إِلَى شَىْءٍ إِلاَّ وُقِفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لاَزِمًا لِدَعْوَتِهِ مَا دَعَا إِلَيْهِ وَإِنْ دَعَا رَجُلٌ رَجُلاً ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah reported to us: Abu Muawiyah reported to us, from Layth, from Bashir ibn Nahik, from Abu Hurairah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, ‘Every caller who calls people to something will stand on the Day of Resurrection bound to what he called them to, even if he called only one other man.’
