Inviting People to Right Path
Hadrat Sahl bin Saad (r.a.) reported: ‘The Messenger of Allah (saws) said to Hadrat Ali (r.a.) ibn Abi Taalib: “By Allah, if a single person is guided by Allah through you, it will be better for you than a whole lot of red camels.” (Related by Bukhari and Muslim. quoted from Riyad-us-Saliheen (Hadith # 1379)
Commentary:
A ‘red-camel’ was the absolute most prized worldly possession during those time in Arabia.
The hadith signifies the importance and merits of inviting people towards the Truth of Islam….even if only one person is guided by Allah to the Truth of Islam through one’s efforts, that would be better for one than all the wealth of this earth!

Say thou: "This is my Way: I do invite unto Allah – on evidence clear as the seeing with one’s eyes – I and whoever follows me. Glory to Allah! and never will I join gods with Allah!"(HQ: 12:108).
O People of the Book! come to “common term”s as between us and you: that we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah." If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah’s Will.) (HQ: 3: 64).
Even if we guide muslims to do righteousness or stop somebody from doing an evil deed, Insha Allah we shall be rewarded.
