Hadith 54
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : إِذَا تَحَدَّثَ عَبْدِي بِأَنْ يَعْمَلَ حَسَنَةً، فَأَنَا أَكْتُبُهَا لَهُ حَسَنَةً مَا لَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا، فَإِذَا عَمِلَهَا فَأَنَا أَكْتُبُهَا لَهُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا، وَإِذَا تَحَدَّثَ بِأَنْ يَعْمَلَ سَيِّئَةً فَأَنَا أَغْفِرُهَا، مَا لَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا فَإِذَا عَمِلَهَا فَأَنَا أَكْتُبُهَا لَهُ بِمِثْلِهَا "
And the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says that when My servant intends to do a good deed, (merely by his intention, as long as he does not act upon it) I write one good deed (in his record of deeds), and when he acts upon that heartfelt intention, I write ten good deeds (in his record of deeds) for him. And when (My servant) intends to commit a bad deed, (merely by his intention to do a bad deed) I forgive him, that is, as long as he does not commit the bad deed, and when he commits (that) deed, I write (only) the like of that evil (just one sin) for him.”
