Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا الْجَعْدُ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ الْعُطَارِدِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيمَا رَوَى عَنْ رَبِّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى رَحِيمٌ مَنْ هَمَّ بِحَسَنَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كُتِبَتْ لَهُ حَسَنَةً فَإِنْ عَمِلَهَا كُتِبَتْ لَهُ عَشَرَةً إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةٍ إِلَى أَضْعَافٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَمَنْ هَمَّ بِسَيِّئَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كُتِبَتْ لَهُ حَسَنَةً فَإِنْ عَمِلَهَا كُتِبَتْ لَهُ وَاحِدَةً أَوْ يَمْحُوهَا اللَّهُ وَلَا يَهْلِكُ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى إِلَّا هَالِكٌ.
English Translation
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, narrating from his Lord: 'Indeed your Lord, Blessed and Most High, is Merciful. Whoever intends a good deed but does not perform it, it is written for him as one good deed. If he performs it, it is written as ten to seven hundred, to many more multiples. And whoever intends an evil deed but does not perform it, it is written for him as one good deed. If he performs it, it is written as one (sin), or Allah may erase it. And none is destroyed before Allah the Most High except one who is truly ruined.'
