حُسْنِ إِسْلاَمِ الْمَرْءِ

The excellence of a person's Islam

سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " إِذَا أَسْلَمَ الْعَبْدُ فَحَسُنَ إِسْلاَمُهُ يُكَفِّرُ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُلَّ سَيِّئَةٍ كَانَ زَلَفَهَا، وَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْقِصَاصُ، الْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَى سَبْعِمِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ، وَالسَّيِّئَةُ بِمِثْلِهَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ".

قَالَ مَالِكٌ أَخْبَرَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ، أَنَّ عَطَاءَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ،

Translation

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “When the servant embraces Islam and his Islam is good, Allah expiates for him every bad deed he had committed before. After that comes the requital: a good deed (counts) ten times its like up to seven hundred times, and a bad deed as one, unless Allah overlooks it.”

Abu Sa'id al-Chudri berichtete, dass er den Gesandten Allahs ﷺ sagen hörte: „Wenn der Diener den Islam annimmt und sein Islam gut ist, tilgt Allah ihm jede schlechte Tat, die er zuvor begangen hat. Danach gilt die Vergeltung: Die gute Tat (zählt) zehnfach bis zu siebenhundertfach, und die schlechte Tat einfach, es sei denn, Allah sieht über sie hinweg.“

Türkçe

Ebû Saîd el-Hudrî (r.a.), Resûlullah'ı ﷺ şöyle buyururken işittiğini rivayet etti: “Kul Müslüman olur ve Müslümanlığı güzel olursa, Allah onun daha önce işlediği bütün kötülükleri siler. Bundan sonra karşılık başlar: İyiliğe on mislinden yedi yüz katına kadar, kötülüğe ise yalnızca misliyle karşılık verilir; meğer ki Allah onu bağışlasın.”
