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  

I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "Before embracing Islam I used to do good deeds like giving in charity, freeing slaves, and the keeping of good relations with kith and kin. Shall I be rewarded for those deeds?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "You became Muslim ˹along˺ with ˹the rewards for˺ all those good deeds ˹you have done in the past and without carrying the sin of any of the bad deeds of the past˺."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ أَشْيَاءَ كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ عَتَاقَةٍ وَصِلَةِ رَحِمٍ فَهَلْ فِيهَا مِنْ أَجْرٍ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ.»  

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.  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَشْيَاءَ كُنْتُ أَفْعَلُهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ قَالَ هِشَامٌ يَعْنِي أَتَبَرَّرُ بِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا أَسْلَفْتَ لَكَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ قُلْتُ فَوَاللَّهِ لاَ أَدَعُ شَيْئًا صَنَعْتُهُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِلاَّ فَعَلْتُ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ مِثْلَهُ  

[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] "To the Messenger of Allah, have you seen something that I used to do during the time of ignorance and want to be rewarded for it? The Messenger of Allah replied, "You have embraced Islam, and you will be rewarded for what you have done before." Ibn Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary."  

لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتَ شَيْئًا كُنْتُ أَصْنَعُهُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهِ هَلْ لِي فِيهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا سَلَفَ لَكَ مِنْ أَجْرٍ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[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»  

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»
