Arabic text

2040 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، وَعَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَجَاوَزَ لِأُمَّتِي عَمَّا حَدَّثَتْ بِهِ أَنْفُسَهَا، مَا لَمْ تَعْمَلْ بِهِ، أَوْ تَكَلَّمْ بِهِ»

Commentary

Many thoughts rise in a human's mind, of which some are good and some are bad. There is no accountability in respect to them, as long as they remain just thoughts and are not uttered or practiced. Some deeds are concerned just with the heart like: love, hate and fear etc., when one of these gets determinedly absorbed in one's mind, it can affect other deeds that will be recompensed good or bad accordingly. For example: love for Allâh, love for Allâh's Messenger ﷺ, respect of the Noble Qur'an, to hate good work or to have a grudge against a good person etc.; belief, disbelief, sincerity and hypocrisy are also from this type.
