Abu Mas‘ūd al-Badri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever guides to a good deed gets the same reward as the doer of that deed.''
Sahih/Authentic. - [Muslim]

Explanation

This is indeed a great Hadīth. It indicates that the person who guides others to do good will get the same reward of the person who does that good. This includes verbal guidance, such as teaching others, and guidance by example; i.e. by being a good example for others to follow.
