Hadith 2798

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ بَشَّارِ بْنِ أَبِي سَيْفٍ، عَنْ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ غُطَيْفٍ، قَالَ: أَتَيْنَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ نَعُودُهُ، فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ: "الْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا".
Iyad bin Ghatif said: We went to visit Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) for his illness, and he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The reward of a good deed is ten times like it."

Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2797)

It is stated in the Noble Qur’an: «﴿مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا﴾ [الانعام : 160]» meaning, whoever does a good deed will receive ten times its like.

This is the grace and generosity of Allah Ta’ala, and His benevolence towards the believers, that He will grant the reward of one good deed equal to ten good deeds. This is the minimum reward; otherwise, in the Qur’an and Hadith, the reward for many good deeds is mentioned as being several hundred, and for some deeds, even thousands or hundreds of thousands of times.
