hadeeth

On the authority of son of Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with them both), from the

Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam), among the sayings he related from

his Lord (glorified and exalted be He) is that He said:

“Allaah has written down the good deeds and the bad ones. Then He

explained it [by saying that] he who has intended a good deed and

has not done it, Allaah writes it down with Himself as a full good

deed, but if he has intended it and has done it, Allaah writes it down

with Himself as from ten good deeds to seven hundred times, or

many times over. But if he has intended a bad deed and has not done

it, Allaah writes it down with Himself as a full good deed, but if he

has intended it and has done it, Allaah writes it down as one bad

deed.”
