Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ هَمَّ بِحَسَنَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كُتِبَتْ لَهُ حَسَنَةً فَإِنْ عَمِلَهَا كُتِبَتْ لَهُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةٍ وَسَبْعِ أَمْثَالِهَا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كُتِبَتْ لَهُ حَسَنَةً وَمَنْ هَمَّ بِسَيِّئَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا لَمْ تُكْتَبْ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَمِلَهَا كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْهِ سَيِّئَةً وَاحِدَةً فَإِنْ لَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا لَمْ تُكْتَبْ عَلَيْهِ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us, Hisham told us, from Muhammad, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Whoever intends to do a good deed but does not do it, it is recorded for him as one good deed; and if he does it, it is recorded for him as ten good deeds like it, up to seven hundred times and more. And whoever intends to do a bad deed but does not do it, it is not recorded against him; and if he does it, it is recorded against him as a single bad deed; and if he does not do it, it is not recorded against him."
