5992. Narrated Hākīm bin Hīzām that he said, "O Allāh's Messenger! What do you think about my good deeds which I used to do during the Period of Ignorance (i.e., before embracing Islām) like keeping good relations with my kith and kin, manumitting the slaves and giving alms, etc. Shall I receive the reward for that?" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "You have embraced Islām with all those good deeds which you did."
