Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Verily, Allah does not look at your appearances or your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and your deeds.

Abu Uthman says: This report reached me that Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Indeed, Allah Almighty grants His believing servant one million good deeds in exchange for a single good deed. Then it happened that I got the opportunity to perform Hajj or Umrah, so I went and met Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: A hadith has reached me from you that you say the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Allah Almighty grants His believing servant one million good deeds for a single good deed. He said: No, (I did not narrate this hadith), but I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: Indeed, Allah Almighty grants His servant twenty million good deeds. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: Allah Almighty increases that good deed and grants a great reward from Himself. Now, who is there who can estimate the greatness of that reward?

. (Second chain) A similar hadith is narrated, however, in this it is stated: Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: What has amazed you? By Allah, I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Indeed, Allah Almighty increases one good deed up to twenty million times.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When two Muslims confront each other with their swords, and one kills the other, then both the killer and the one killed go to Hell. Someone asked: The killer is understandable, but what is the reason for the slain (going to Hell)? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He had intended to kill his companion.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When any one of you perfects his Islam, then every good deed he does is written for him as ten to seven hundred times (its reward), and every bad deed he does is written as only one like it. (This continues) until he meets Allah, the Exalted.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated from his Lord: Indeed, your Lord is most merciful. Whoever intends to do a good deed but does not act upon it, one good deed is written for him. And if he acts upon it, it is written for him as ten to seven hundred times, or even more multiplied. But if someone intends to do an evil deed and does not act upon it, then one good deed is written for him because of that. And if he acts upon it, then one evil deed is written for him, or Allah Almighty forgives it as well. Now, only he will be destroyed in the sight of Allah Almighty who is destined to be destroyed.

(Second chain) The Noble Prophet, narrating from Allah Almighty, says: Indeed, Allah Almighty has written down good deeds and bad deeds. So, if a person intends to do a good deed but does not actually do it, Allah Almighty records it with Himself as a complete good deed. And if he also acts upon it, then Allah Almighty writes it as ten to seven hundred times, or even more, or as much as Allah Almighty wills, increasing it. But if someone intends to do a bad deed but does not act upon it, Allah Almighty writes it as a complete good deed. And if he actually does it, then He writes it as only one bad deed.

A similar hadith of the Prophet is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Companions said: O Messenger of Allah! Such thoughts come to us that we would prefer to become charcoal rather than talk about them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: All praise is due to Allah, who has given this Satan only the power to cast whispers. The words of one narrator are: All praise is due to Allah, who has turned the matter of Satan towards whispering.

(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, that a man came to the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: O Messenger of Allah! Such thoughts come to me that, compared to speaking about them, I would prefer to fall from the sky. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Allah is the Greatest, all praise is for Allah, Who has turned the plot of this devil towards mere whispering.
