Chapter: Allah allows a person's thoughts and whatever occurs in his heart so long as they do not become established

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed:
Verily Allah forgave my people the evil promptings which arise within their hearts as long as they did not speak about them or did not act upon them.
Explanation
-Qaadhee al-Iyyad said if a person intentionally thinks about something bad, then he is sinful. Likewise, if he has a firm intent to do something bad, this is one sin (because the thinking has become a separate action to the actual action itself). If he does it then this is a second sin but if he doesn't out of fear of Allaah then it's written as a reward. 

-Al-Qaadhee also said about the Hadeeth of multiplying rewards from ten to seven hundred, that one action has so much reward, how is it possible that someone would want to miss out on such a virtue? It's only those who've had their sins multiply to the extent it has overcome them and has led to their destruction who are neglectful. 

-Marwardee said 700 times is not limited rather it can be multiplied even further.

And Allah Knows best.

Sharh Sahih Muslim, 2/168-171
