It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever intends to do a good deed but is unable to act upon it, even then one good deed is written for him. And if he carries out that good deed, then for him ten to seven hundred times the reward is written. And if he is unable to act, then only one good deed is written. And if a person intends to commit a sin but does not act upon it, then that sin is not recorded in his book of deeds.
