حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ نَاسٌ يَا رَس
ُولَ اللَّهِ أَنُؤَاخَذُ بِأَعْمَالِنَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ مِنْكُمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَلَا يُؤَاخَذُ بِهِ وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ فَيُؤْخَذُ بِعَمَلِهِ الْأَوَّلِ وَالْآخِرِ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Jarir, from Mansur, from Abi Wa'il — that 'Abdullah said: 'Some people said: O Messenger of Allah, will we be held accountable for our deeds in the Jahiliyya? He said: Whoever among you does good in Islam will not be held accountable for it [the Jahiliyya]. And whoever does evil will be held accountable for both his first and last [deeds].'
