He acted so that others also would merit to fulfill commandments. He initiated acts of righteousness and brought others to observe commandments and to merit their reward.

("Whoever justifies the rabbis, there is no sin on his hand. And whoever makes the rabbis sin, there is no sin on his hand to make atonement. Moses justified and justified the rabbis, the righteousness of the rabbis shall follow him...Jeroboam sinned and made the rabbis sin, the rabbis shall follow him" - Avot 5:18, and so: "And I have heard it said that even though the majority of his people were bold, Loaz did Great is his work and his merit, and he has justified the rabbis. There was no wise spirit in his generation who was so calm that they were determined to write down the verses." - Pela Yoetz/ Ot A, Asfa, and so on: "Rabbi Shlomo is alive, may the Lord preserve him. Blessed are he, blessed are he, in his merit. Great merit. The rabbi's vindicator. The Torah's strengthener" - Y. Burla/ Kisupim, 59, and so on: "He who is revealed Shabbat...brought the great Hasidic Rabbi Chaim to write his book, the Siddur of Shabbat, that the righteous, by what they justify themselves, justify the rabbis" - Agnon/Takhreech Shel Sipurim, 106)
