Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I said to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): Hisham bin Mughirah used to maintain ties of kinship, host guests, free slaves, feed people, and if he had lived in the time of Islam, he would have become a Muslim as well. Will these deeds benefit him? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "No, he used to do so for worldly purposes, for his fame and reputation, and for flattery and praise. He never said even for a single day: O my Lord! Forgive my sins on the Day of Resurrection."
