Tenfold reward

Wednesday, October 21, 1964

مَنْ هَمَّ بِحَسَنَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ عِنْدَهُ حَسَنَةً كَامِلَةً، فَإِنْ هُوَ هَمَّ بِهَا فَعَمِلَهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ عِنْدَهُ عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ إِلَى سَبْعِمِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ
Transliteration

Man hamma bi-hasanatin fa-lam ya'malha katabaha-llahu indahu hasanatan kamilah, fa-in huwa hamma biha fa-amilaha katabaha-llahu indahu ashra hasanatin ila sab'imi'ati di'f.

Translation

Whoever intends a good deed but does not do it, Allah records it with Him as a complete good deed. If he does it, Allah records it as ten to seven hundred times its worth. Whoever intends an evil deed but does not do it, Allah records it as one complete good deed. If he does the evil deed, Allah records it as one.

Narrated by Ibn Abbas·Sahih al-Bukhari 6491, Sahih Muslim 131

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
