Hadith #22

Arabic Text

English Translation

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Mahdī narrated to us, Shaybān ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrated to us, from al-Rukayn ibn al-Rabīʿ, from his father, from his uncle Fulān ibn ʿAmīlah, from Khuraym ibn Fātik al-Asadī رضي الله عنه, that the Prophet ﷺ said, 'People are of four types and deeds are of six types. People are either those who are given abundance in this world and the Hereafter; those given abundance in this world but restricted in the Hereafter; those restricted in this world but given abundance in the Hereafter; or those wretched in both this world and the Hereafter. As for deeds: there are two that are decisive, like for like, tenfold, and seven hundredfold. The two decisive ones are: whoever dies as a believing Muslim, not associating anything with Allah, Paradise becomes obligatory for him; and whoever dies as a disbeliever, the Fire becomes obligatory for him. Whoever intends a good deed but does not do it, and Allah knows that he has taken it to heart and was keen on it, a good deed is written for him. Whoever intends an evil deed, it is not written against him. Whoever commits it, one sin is written and it is not multiplied against him. Whoever does a good deed, it counts as ten like it. And whoever spends in the way of Allah, it is multiplied seven hundred fold.'
