6921. Narrated Ibn Mas’ūd رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: A man said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! Shall we be punished for what we did in the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance?” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Whoever does good in Islām will not be punished for what he did in the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance; and whoever does evil in Islām will be punished for his former and later (bad deeds).”
