Abu Barza said that when he asked God’s Prophet to teach him something from which he would receive benefit he told him to remove things which caused annoyance to Muslims from their path.
He reported God’s messenger as saying,
“I have seen a man going about in paradise as a reward for cutting down a tree which was overhanging a road and annoying people."
When the Prophet came to Medina and I went and examined his face, I recognised that it was not the face of a liar. The first thing he said was,
“If you people greet all whom you meet, provide food, care for the wellbeing of your kindred, and pray at night when people are asleep, you will enter paradise in peace.’’
Abu Huraira reported God’s messenger as saying,
“A man who came upon a branch of a tree overhanging a road and decided to move if from the way of Muslims to keep it from annoying them was brought into paradise."
