Posts that include good exhortation, advice, remembrance, and enjoining good are among the acts of worship and obedience for which one is rewarded. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to supplicate for his companions with comprehensive supplications that included seeking the fear of Allah, obedience, and certainty, as well as enjoying one's hearing and sight, strength, victory over oppressors, and that calamity not befall one's religion, and that this worldly life not be one's greatest concern.
