And Muhammad ibn Rafi' narrated to us, 'Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ma'mar informed us, from Hammam ibn Munabbih, who said: This is what Abu Hurayrah narrated to us, from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him — and he mentioned hadiths, among them, he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: When My servant intends to do a good deed, I write it for him as a good deed as long as he has not done it. And if he does it, I write it for him as ten times its like. And when he intends to do an evil deed, I forgive it for him as long as he has not done it. And if he does it, I write it for him as its like."

And the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "The angels said: 'Our Lord, that is Your servant who wants to do an evil deed' — and He is more aware of him — so He said: 'Watch him, and if he does it, write it for him as its like. And if he abandons it, write it for him as a good deed — for he only abandoned it for My sake.'"

And the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "When one of you perfects his Islam, then every good deed he does is written as ten times its like, up to seven hundred fold, and every evil deed he does is written as its like, until he meets Allah."
