Yahya ibn Ayyub, Qutaybah, and Ibn Hujr narrated to us; they said: Isma'il—namely, Ibn Ja'far—narrated to us, from al-'Ala', from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: 'When My servant intends to do a good deed but does not do it, I record it for him as one good deed. If he does it, I record it for him as ten good deeds, up to seven hundred times over. And when he intends to do an evil deed but does not do it, I do not record it against him. If he does it, I record it as one single evil deed.'"
