I said: Messenger of Allah, I did so some of the deeds in the state of ignorance. (One of the transmitters Hisham b. Urwa explained them as acts of piety. Upon this the Messenger, of Allah remarked: You have embraced Islam with all the previous acts of virtue. I said: By God, I would leave nothing undone in Islam the like of which I did in the state of ignorance.

bukhari:2538 – ʿUbayd b. Ismāʿīl > Abū Usāmah > Hishām from my father > Ḥakīm

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."  

البخاري:٢٥٣٨ – حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي أَنَّ حَكِيمَ بْنَ حِزَامٍ ؓ أَعْتَقَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مِائَةَ رَقَبَةٍ وَحَمَلَ عَلَى مِائَةِ بَعِيرٍ فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَ حَمَلَ عَلَى مِائَةِ بَعِيرٍ وَأَعْتَقَ مِائَةَ رَقَبَةٍ قَالَ

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 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."
