النص العربي
إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الحَسَنَاتِ وَالسَّيِّئَاتِ ثُمَّ بَيَّنَ ذَلِكَ: فَمَنْ هَمَّ بِحَسَنَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ حَسَنَةً كَامِلَةً، فَإِنْ هَمَّ بِهَا فَعَمِلَهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ إِلَى سَبْعِ مِئَةِ ضِعْفٍ إِلَى أَضْعَافٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. وَمَنْ هَمَّ بِسَيِّئَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ حَسَنَةً كَامِلَةً، فَإِنْ هَمَّ بِهَا فَعَمِلَهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ سَيِّئَةً وَاحِدَةً.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Allah has written down good and bad deeds: whoever intends a good deed but does not do it, Allah writes it as one full good deed; if he does it, Allah writes it as ten to seven hundred and beyond. Whoever intends an evil deed but does not do it, Allah writes it as a full good deed for him; if he does it, Allah writes it as one evil deed.
— Ibn ‘Abbās (RA) (Bukhari & Muslim)
الشرح
Allah's accounting is overwhelmingly merciful. Even an unfulfilled good intention earns reward — and an unfulfilled evil intention is itself a good deed.
شرح موسّع
Allah’s ledger is overwhelmingly merciful. An intended-but-unperformed good = one full good deed. A performed good = ten to seven hundred and beyond. An intended-but-resisted evil = one full good deed (the resistance itself). A performed evil = exactly one evil deed.
Ibn Rajab calls this the most encouraging hadith in the book: even before you act, your intention to do good is rewarded. And even your moments of struggling against temptation — when you almost sinned but pulled back for Allah’s sake — are written as good deeds.
من كلام أهل العلم
"If a man intended an evil but left it for Allah’s sake, Allah writes it as a complete good deed. The intention to leave a sin for Allah is itself a great act of worship."
"‘Seven hundred and beyond’ — the multiplication depends on the sincerity of the heart, the difficulty of the act, the time and place, and the benefit to others."
