Chapter 41 · Zuhdحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، وَأَبِي، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنُؤَاخَذُ بِمَا كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَنْ أَحْسَنَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، لَمْ يُؤَاخَذْ بِمَا كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ أُخِذَ بِالْأَوَّلِ وَالْآخِرِ .

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said: “We said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, will we be taken to task for what we did in the Ignorance period?’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever does good in Islam (i.e., after becoming a Muslim) he will not be taken to task for what he did in the Ignorance period, but whoever does evil (i.e., after entering Islam) he will be taken to task for both the former and the latter.’”
