Good deeds multiplied, bad intentions not counted

Monday, June 27, 2022

فَمَنْ هَمَّ بِحَسَنَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ عِنْدَهُ حَسَنَةً كَامِلَةً، فَإِنْ هُوَ هَمَّ بِهَا فَعَمِلَهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ
Transliteration

Fa-man hamma bi-hasanatin fa-lam ya'malha katabaha-llahu 'indahu hasanatan kamilah, fa-in huwa hamma biha fa-'amilaha kataba-llahu 'ashra hasanatin ila sab'i mi'ati di'f.

Translation

Whoever intended a good deed and did not do it, Allah records it as a full good deed. If he did it, Allah records it as ten to seven hundred times. If he intended a bad deed and did not do it, Allah records it as a full good deed. If he did it, Allah records it as one bad deed.

Narrated by Ibn Abbas (hadith qudsi)·Sahih al-Bukhari 6491, Sahih Muslim 131·Nawawi's Forty · #37
Reflection
