Narration on Accountability for Pre-Islamic Actions
Hadith Number: 108
حدثنا سفيان ، قال: حدثنا الاعمش ، عن ابي وائل ، عن عبد الله ، قال: قيل: يا رسول الله انؤاخذ بما كان منا في الجاهلية؟ فقال: " من احسن منكم لم يؤاخذ بما عمل في الجاهلية، ومن اساء اخذ بالاول والآخر" .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Will we be held accountable for what we did during the time of ignorance?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever among you does good, he will not be held accountable for what he did during the time of ignorance, and whoever does evil, he will be held accountable for all his deeds, those done before and after."
