Hadith text

Narrated Abu Huraira:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah says, 'If My slave intends to do a bad deed then (O Angels) do not write it unless he does it; if he does it, then write it as it is, but if he refrains from doing it for My Sake, then write it as a good deed (in his account). (On the other hand) if he intends to do a good deed, but does not do it, then write a good deed (in his account), and if he does it, then write it for him (in his account) as ten good deeds up to seven-hundred times

Abu Huraira bataate hain: Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Allah kehta hai, "Agar mera bandaa koi bura amal karne ka iraada rakhta hai to (Aye Farishton) use tab tak mat likho jab tak wo use kare; agar wo use kare, to use waisa hi likho jaisa wo hai, magar agar wo Meri khaatir isse rukk jaaye, to use ek achha amal (uske khaate mein) likho. (Doosri taraf) agar wo koi achha amal karne ka iraada rakhta hai, magar use nahi karta, to ek achha amal (uske khaate mein) likho, aur agar wo ise kare, to use uske liye (uske khaate mein) das achhe amaal ke barabar likho, saat-sau guna tak."'
