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."

5992 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ: أَنَّ حَكِيمَ بْنَ حِزَامٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ أُمُورًا كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهَا فِي الجَاهِلِيَّةِ، مِنْ صِلَةٍ، وَعَتَاقَةٍ، وَصَدَقَةٍ، هَلْ لِي فِيهَا مِنْ أَجْرٍ؟ قَالَ حَكِيمٌ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ» وَيُقَالُ أَيْضًا: عَنْ أَبِي اليَمَانِ: «أَتَحَنَّثُ» وَقَالَ مَعْمَرٌ، وَصَالِحٌ، وَابْنُ المُسَافِرِ: «أَتَحَنَّثُ» وَقَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ: «التَّحَنُّثُ التَّبَرُّرُ» وَتَابَعَهُمْ هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ
