Hadith 51
51/70 عن حكيم بن حزام؛ أنه قال للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: أرأيت أموراً كنت أتحنث بها في الجاهلية؛ من صلة، وعتاقة، وصدقة، فهل لي فيها أجر؟ قال حكيم: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "أسلمت على ما سلف من خير".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): What is your opinion about those acts of worship that I used to do in the days of ignorance, such as maintaining ties of kinship, freeing slaves, and giving charity? Will I also receive reward for them? Hakim says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "You have accepted Islam along with all the good deeds you did before (in the days of ignorance)." (That is, you will also receive their reward.)
