| On the authority of Ibn
Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Messenger of
Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), among the sayings
he related from his Lord (glorified and exalted be He) is that He
said:
"Allah has written down the good deeds and the bad ones."
Then He explained it [by saying that] "he who has intended
a good deed and has not done it, Allah writes it down with Himself
as a full good deed, but if he has intended it and has done it,
Allah writes it down with Himself as from ten good deeds to seven
hundred times, or many times over. But if he has intended a bad
deed and has not done it, Allah writes it down with Himself as a
full good deed, but if he has intended it and has done it, Allah
writes it down as one bad deed."
[Bukhari and Muslim.]
