What is the reward for intending to perform a good deed, or for actually performing it?
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
"Whoever intends to perform a good deed but does not carry it out,
Allah records it for him with Himself as one complete good deed.
But if he intends to perform it and then carries it out,
Allah records it for him with Himself as ten good deeds,
up to seven hundred times over,
and up to many times more."
