«إذا أسلم العبد فحسن إسلامه يكفر الله عنه كل سيئة كان زلفها وكان بعد ذلك القصاص الحسنة بعشر أمثالها إلى سبعمائة ضعف والسيئة بمثلها إلا أن يتجاوز الله عنها»
(صحيح) [خ ن] عن أبي سعيد)
It is narrated from the words of Abu Sa’id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say:
“If a person embraces Islam sincerely, then Allah shall forgive all his past sins, and after that starts the settlement of accounts, the reward of his good deeds will be ten times to seven hundred times for each good deed and one evil deed will be recorded as it is unless Allah forgives it.”
This hadith was narrated by al-Bukhari 41 and al-Nasai 4998.
Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith authentic. See Sahih al-jami ‘as-saghir 337, Mishkat al-Masabih 2373.
