Hakim b. Hizam reported to 'Urwa b. Zubair that he said to the Messenger of Allah:
Do you think that there is any thing for me (of he reward with the Lord) for the deed of religious purification that I did in the state of ignorance? Upon this he (the Messenger of Allah) said to him: You accepted Islam with all the previous virtues that you practised.
Explanation
-Al-Maazirree said that the good deeds of a
Kaafir don't get transferred over when he becomes Muslim because he needs to
have Niyyah to do good and thus doesn't benefit. So the Ta'weel is of three
possible meanings:
A) He has good characteristics which continue
B) He has a good reputation which continues
C) He has a good foundation and Islam will
help him develop more
Qaadhee said it means the Barakah alone
will continue
Ibn Battaal said it's taken upon its apparent
without any Ta'weel because of the narration of Aboo Sa'eed, "If he
becomes Muslim and he practices his Islam then Allaah will Write for everything
he did one good deed and remove by it one bad deed and the good deed can be
multiplied from ten to seven-hundred times" Bukhaaree, 41
Daaraqutnee also affirmed the Dhaahir
As for the well-known principle with the
scholars that "the actions of worship of a kafir are not accepted"
then this refers to the Kaafir in the Dunya however if the Kaafir repents and
enters into Islam then his state in the Aakhirah is different.
Also, this principle has limitations as some
acts of the Kuffaar are accepted such as Tahaarah and Kaffaarah.
