My father told me that Hakim bin Hizam manumitted one-hundred slaves in the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance and slaughtered one-hundred camels (and distributed them in charity). When he embraced Islam he again slaughtered one-hundred camels and manumitted one-hundred slaves. Hakim said, "I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! What do you think about some good deeds I used to practice in the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance regarding them as deeds of righteousness?' Allah's Apostle said, "You have embraced Islam along with all those good deeds you did."  

فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ أَشْيَاءَ كُنْتُ أَصْنَعُهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهَا يَعْنِي أَتَبَرَّرُ بِهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا سَلَفَ لَكَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think of actions that I used to do during the time of ignorance, such as freeing a slave or maintaining family ties? Do I receive rewards for them?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "You have embraced Islam upon what has preceded of goodness."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ أُمُورًا كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مِنْ عَتَاقَةٍ وَصِلَةِ رَحِمٍ هَلْ لِي فِيهَا أَجْرٌ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ  

[Machine] He informed him that he said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about matters that I used to engage in during the period of ignorance, such as maintaining ties of kinship, freeing slaves, and giving charity? Is there any reward in them?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "You have embraced Islam upon what has preceded for you from reward."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ أُمُورًا كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مِنْ صِلَةٍ وَعَتَاقَةٍ وَصَدَقَةٍ فَهَلْ فِيهَا أَجْرٌ؟ فقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا سَلَفَ لَكَ مِنْ أَجْرٍ»  

[Machine] I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about the things I used to do during the time of ignorance (before Islam)? Can I justify them?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have embraced Islam and all the previous good deeds (before Islam) count." Hisham said, "He (the Messenger of Allah) used to free slaves even during the time of ignorance."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ أَشْيَاءَ كُنْتُ أَصْنَعُهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ أَتَبَرَّرُ بِهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ» قَالَ هِشَامٌ «وَكَانَ أَعْتَقَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ»  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about matters in which I used to engage in during the pre-Islamic period, such as being kind to relatives and maintaining family ties? Will I be rewarded for them?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "You have embraced Islam with all the good deeds you have done before."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ أُمُورًا كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ فِيهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مِنْ عَتَاقَةٍ وَصِلَةِ رَحِمٍ هَلْ لِي فِيهَا مِنْ أَجْرٍ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا سَلَفَ لَكَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ»  

[Machine] He informed him that he said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : Have you seen matters that I used to practice during the period of ignorance (Jahiliyyah). Is there any benefit for me in them? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: You have converted to Islam with all the good deeds you have done before.  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتَ أُمُورًا كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ هَلْ لِي مِنْهَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا أَسْلَفْتَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ»  

[Machine] He informed him that he said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "I have done certain acts during the time of ignorance like maintaining ties of kinship, freeing slaves, and giving charity. Will I be rewarded for them?" Al-Hakim ibn Hizam replied that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "You have embraced Islam for the good deeds you have done before."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتَ أُمُورًا كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مِنْ صِلَةٍ وَعَتَاقَةٍ وَصَدَقَةٍ هَلْ لِي فِيهَا أَجْرٌ؟ قَالَ حَكِيمُ بْنُ حِزَامٍ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا سَلَّفْتَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ»  

Messenger of Allah, do you think if there is any reward (of the Lord with me on the Day of Resurrection) for the deeds of religious purification that I performed in the state of ignorance, such as charity, freeing a slave, cementing of blood-relations? Upon this he (the Messenger of Allah) said to him: You have accepted Islam with all the previous virtues that you had practised. (Using translation from Muslim 123b)  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ أُمُورًا كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ عَتَاقَةٍ أَوْ صِلَةِ رَحِمٍ أَفِيهَا أَجْرٌ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا أَسْلَفْتَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ»
