وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الحسناتِ والسيِّئاتِ: فَمَنْ هَمَّ بِحَسَنَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ لهُ عندَهُ حَسَنَة كَامِلَة فَإِن هم بعملها كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ إِلَى سَبْعِمِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ إِلَى أَضْعَافٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَمَنْ هَمَّ بسيئة فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ عِنْدَهُ حَسَنَةً كَامِلَةً فَإِن هُوَ هم بعملها كتبهَا الله لَهُ سَيِّئَة وَاحِدَة "
Ibn ‘Abbas (may God be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: ‘God has recorded good deeds and bad deeds. Whoever intends a good deed but does not do it, God records it with Him as a complete good deed. If he intends it and does it, God records it with Him as ten good deeds, up to seven hundred times and many times more. Whoever intends an evil deed but does not do it, God records it with Him as a complete good deed; but if he intends it and does it, God records it as one bad deed.’ Agreed upon. The Arabic source records it as agreed upon (al-Albani).
