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

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.
