UNEXPECTED REWARD

12

“Indeed, Allah has written the merits and sins, and has clarified them. Whosoever intended a merit but did not practice it, Allah, the Blessed, the High, writes it with Him as a complete reward. Whereas if he intended it and practiced it, Allah writes it as ten rewards up to seven hundred, doubled, and multiplied. However, if he intended a sin but does not commit it, Allah, the High, writes it with Him as a complete reward. Whereas if he intended it and committed it, Allah writes it as one sin.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to (Abu al-'Abbas) Abdullah son of Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib with a chain up to the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, amongst that which he reported with a chain up to his Lord, the Blessed, the High, says this.
