Question:
This questioner sent this hadith, asking about it and seeking clarification. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, reporting from his Lord (Mighty and Majestic):Sahih al-Bukhari 6491 to seven hundred Sahih al-Bukhari 6491. It was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim. He asks: What do we benefit from this hadith?
Answer:
We benefit from this hadith by knowing the justice of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) toward His servants, and that if a servant intends to do a good deed but does not do it, he is not able to do it, it is recorded for him as a good deed.
According to his intention. And if he intends it and does it, Allah records it as ten good deeds up to seven hundred times, up to many times over. This is from the favor of Allah. As for the bad deed, it is as it is; nothing is added to it. Nothing is added to bad deeds. Rather, it is made heavier. The bad deed is made heavier in the noble place, such as the Haram, and in the noble time, such as the sacred months. The bad deed is made heavier in the noble time and the noble place. It is one bad deed, but it is made heavier, not multiplied. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
