وَعَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ - يَعْنِي النَّهْدِيَّ - قَالَ : بَلَغَنِي عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ اللَّهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - يُعْطِي عَبْدَهُ بِالْحَسَنَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ حَسَنَةٍ ، ( قَالَ فَقَضَى أَنِّيِ انْطَلَقْتُ حَاجًّا أَوْ مُعْتَمِرًا فَلَقِيتَهُ فَقُلْتُ : بَلَغَنِي عَنْكَ حَدِيثٌ ، أَنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُعْطِي عَبْدَهُ الْمُؤْمِنَ ، بِالْحَسَنَةِ أَلْفَ أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ ) ، فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : لَا . بَلْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - يُعْطِيهِ أَلْفَيْ أَلْفِ حَسَنَةٍ " . ثُمَّ تَلَا : ( يُضَاعِفْهَا وَيُؤْتِ مِنْ لَدُنْهُ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا ) . فَقَالَ : إِذَا قَالَ اللَّهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : ( أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا ) فَمَنْ يَقْدُرُ قَدْرَهُ .
Abu Uthman al-Nahdi narrates: It reached me about Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he says: It has reached me that "Allah Almighty grants one of His servants 1000 thousand (i.e. one million) good deeds in return for one good deed." The narrator says: I happened to set out for Hajj or Umrah, and I met Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him). I said: "A report has reached me from you that you say: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Allah Almighty grants His believing servant 1000 thousand (i.e. one million) good deeds in return for one good deed.'" Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "No! Rather, I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Allah Almighty grants him 2000 thousand (i.e. two million) good deeds.'" Then he recited this verse: "If it is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward." Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "When Allah Almighty has said 'a great reward', then who can estimate its measure?"
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ : أَتَيْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَقُلْتُ : بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ : إِنَّ الْحَسَنَةَ تُضَاعَفُ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ حَسَنَةٍ . فَقَالَ : وَمَا أَعْجَبَكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ؟ فَوَاللَّهِ ، لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بِإِسْنَادَيْنِ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ بِنَحْوِهِ ، وَأَحَدُ إِسْنَادَيْ أَحْمَدَ جَيِّدٌ .
In one report the words are: "I came to Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: 'I have learned that you say: a single good deed becomes 1000 thousand (i.e. a million times).' Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'Why are you surprised at this? By Allah, I heard this from the tongue of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).'" After this the narrator mentioned the report as before.
Ahmad recorded it with two chains, and al-Bazzar recorded something similar; the narrators of one of Ahmad's two chains are good.
