Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) that Allah Almighty says: "Whoever intends to do a good deed, and does not do it, I record one good deed for him. If he acts upon it, I record for him from ten to seven hundred times as much. If he intends to do an evil deed and does not act upon it, I do not record anything against him. If he acts upon it, I record one evil deed against him."
