Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated from his Lord: Indeed, your Lord is most merciful. Whoever intends to do a good deed but does not act upon it, one good deed is written for him. And if he acts upon it, it is written for him as ten to seven hundred times, or even more multiplied. But if someone intends to do an evil deed and does not act upon it, then one good deed is written for him because of that. And if he acts upon it, then one evil deed is written for him, or Allah Almighty forgives it as well. Now, only he will be destroyed in the sight of Allah Almighty who is destined to be destroyed.
