if you encourage someone to go for Salah, or pay Zakat and the person actually goes ahead and prays or pays Zakat, Allah will reward him for the good deeds and at the same time give you (the one that encouraged them to do good) an equal reward as he has given them - without decreasing what he gave them.
So Encourage Other To Do Good And Refrain From Bad Deeds
