Ibne-Abbas Radiyallahu anhuma narrates
from among those sayings which
Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
has related from his Rabb ' Azza wa Jall:
Allah has spelled out good deeds and bad ones
( to the appointed angels over you )
He (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) then explained it.
If any one intends to do a good deed but does not do it,
Allah enters for him in His record as a complete good deed;
and if he intends to do a good deed and does it,
Allah enters for him in His record as ten to seven hundred
and many more times as much.
If any one intends to do a bad deed and does not do it
( because of fear of Allah ),
Allah enters it for him in His record as a complete good deed;
but if he intends to do it and does it,
Allah records it for him as one bad deed.
