Continuation of the tape with an explanation of the hadith: (Whoever intends a good deed but does not do it).

The Shaykh : Then the author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The thirty-seventh hadith: From Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him). And it is better to say: (may Allah be pleased with them both), because 'Abdullah was a believer and his father was a believer. Here there is a possessive and a possessed noun; Ibn is the possessive and 'Abbas is the possessed noun, so they are two men. So it is preferable to say, the first thing is to say: from them, from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) in what he narrates from his Lord (Blessed and Exalted is He) that He said: . His saying: "in what he narrates from his Lord" is called by the scholars a hadith qudsi, yes. In what he narrates, he said: , He wrote their occurrence and He wrote their reward. So they occur by the divine decree and destiny written in the Preserved Tablet. And their reward is also written, as will be clarified in the hadith. So his saying: means He wrote what? Their occurrence and their reward. As for their occurrence: it is in the Preserved Tablet. And as for their reward: it is by what the Shari'ah indicates.
Then He clarified that: meaning He detailed it, . The intention here is not merely the talk of the self, because the talk of the self is not written for a person nor against him. But what is meant is that he resolved to do it, he resolved to do it but did not do it, he was lazy and did not do it, so Allah writes it as a complete good deed. How is he rewarded when he did not do it? He is rewarded for the resolution with the sincere intention, and it is written as a complete good deed.
And know that whoever intends a good deed but does not do it is in several cases:
The first case: that he strives for its causes but does not attain it. So he is written the full reward, by the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He): . And likewise, a person strives to go to the mosque intending to pray the obligatory prayer standing, then he is unable to pray standing, so he is written the reward of praying standing, because he strove for the deed but did not attain it. This is the first case.
The second: that he intends a good deed and resolves to do it, but he leaves it for a better good deed. So he is rewarded with the reward of the higher good deed, which is more complete. And he is rewarded for his first intention for the lower good deed. And the evidence for that is that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) when Makkah was conquered, and he said: . So he moved from the lower to the higher.
The third: that he leaves it out of laziness, laziness such as intending to pray the two rak'ahs of the Duha prayer. Then one of his companions knocked on his door and said: Let us go for a walk. So he left the prayer and went with him to walk. So what is this? He is rewarded
for the first intention and the first resolution. But he is not rewarded for the deed, because he did not do it without an excuse, and without moving to something better. Then he said in the hadith: . If he intends them and does them, ten good deeds are written - and praise be to Allah -. And the evidence for this from the Qur'an is the saying of Allah the Exalted: . So he says: Yes, ten good deeds. These ten good deeds Allah wrote upon Himself and promised them, and He does not break His promise. : it is under the will of Allah, if He wills He multiplies it to this, and if He wills He does not multiply it : meaning: more than seven hundred times. We have now finished with the intention of a good deed. And Allah the Exalted clarified it clearly. When he intends it and when he does it. And we added to that from the rules of the Shari'ah when he intends it and leaves it. Good. He said: . It was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim in their Sahihs with these words. Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) took care of this hadith in this book. Did you understand? Why? It came in the hadith: meaning for my sake. So a complete good deed is written for him, because he left it for Allah.
And know that the intention of a bad deed has conditions:
The first condition: that he intends a bad deed, meaning: he resolves in his heart, it is not merely the talk of the self, then he reviews himself and leaves it for Allah the Exalted and Majestic. So this is the one who is rewarded, a complete good deed is written for him, because he left it for Allah and did not do it so that he would be given ten good deeds.
The second, the second condition: that he intends a bad deed and resolves to do it, but he is unable to do it without striving for its causes: like the man about whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed that he said: I wish I had like the wealth of so-and-so, so I would do like the work of so-and-so. And so-and-so was extravagant in spending his wealth. So a bad deed is written for him, but not like the doer of the bad deed, rather the sin of his intention is written for him, as it came in the hadith with its wording: What is this? What is this condition? The second condition.
The third condition: that he intends a bad deed and strives to obtain it, but he is unable. So the full sin of the bad deed is written for him. And the evidence for that is: the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family): . So the punishment of the killer was written for him. And an example of that is: if a person prepared to steal and brought a ladder to climb, but he was unable, the sin of the thief is written for him, because he intended the bad deed and strove for its causes but was unable. These are three conditions.
There is a fourth condition: that a person intends a bad deed and then turns away from it, not for Allah and not due to inability. No. Yes. So it is neither for him nor against him, neither for him nor against him. And this happens often, a person intends a bad deed and then his soul is pleased and he turns away from it. So he cannot be rewarded because he did not leave it for Allah. And he cannot be punished because he did not do what necessitates punishment. And on this basis, his saying in the hadith: when? When he leaves it for Allah the Exalted and Majestic. , - praise be to Allah -. And for this reason Allah the Exalted and Majestic said: . And Allah the Exalted and Majestic said: . And this is apparent from the reward for righteous deeds, and the recompense for bad deeds.
Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "So look, my brother, so look - ... good - he said: So look, my brother, may Allah guide us and you to the great mercy of Allah the Exalted, and reflect on these words, and his saying: "with Him" is an indication of the care taken with them, and his saying: "complete" is for emphasis and the intensity of the care taken with them. And he said regarding the bad deed that he intended and then left: Allah wrote it with Him as a complete good deed, so He emphasized it with 'complete'. And if he did it, He wrote it as one bad deed. So He emphasized its reduction with 'one'. And He did not emphasize it with 'complete', so praise and grace be to Allah, Glorified is He, we cannot enumerate praise for Him. And success is from Allah".
This is a good comment from the author (may Allah have mercy on him).
