4228. It was narrated that Abu Kabshah Al-Anmâri said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'The likeness of this nation is that of four people: A man to whom Allâh gives wealth and knowledge, so he acts according to his knowledge with regard to his wealth, spending it as it should be spent; a man to whom Allâh gives knowledge, but he does not give him wealth, so he says: "If I had been given (wealth)
like this one, I would have done what (the first man) did." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'They will be equal in reward. And a man to whom Allāh gives wealth but does not give knowledge, so he squanders his wealth and spends it in inappropriate ways; and a man to whom Allāh gives neither knowledge nor wealth, and he says: "If I had (wealth) like this one, I would do what (the third man) did." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'They are equal in their burden (of sin).'" (Sahih)
(4228 A) A similar report (as above) was narrated from Ibn Abu Kabshah, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ. (Sahih)

Commentary
If one tries to do good deeds but he cannot do it due to some hindrance, he will get its reward.
If one wishes to commit a sin but he is not able to do it, or he tries to commit a sin but fails to do it, he will be a sinner.
If one desires sin in his heart but practically he does not commit sin, to get the pleasure of Allāh then he will be rewarded for that.
