Hakim bin Hizam said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I used to do good deeds in the Pre-Islamic period of Ignorance, e.g., keeping good relations with my Kith and kin, manumitting slaves and giving alms. Shall I receive a reward for all that?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "You embraced Islam with all the good deeds which you did in the past."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ أُمُورًا كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ أَوْ أَتَحَنَّتُ بِهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مِنْ صِلَةٍ وَعَتَاقَةٍ وَصَدَقَةٍ هَلْ لِي فِيهَا أَجْرٌ قَالَ حَكِيمٌ ؓ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا سَلَفَ لَكَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ  

I said to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "Before embracing Islam I used to do good deeds like giving in charity, slave-manumitting, and the keeping of good relations with Kith and kin. Shall I be rewarded for those deeds?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "You became Muslim with all those good deeds (Without losing their reward)."  

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  

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.  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتَ أُمُورًا كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ هَلْ لِي فِيهَا مِنْ شَىْءٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا أَسْلَفْتَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ وَالتَّحَنُّثُ التَّعَبُّدُ  

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.  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَىْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ أُمُورًا كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ عَتَاقَةٍ أَوْ صِلَةِ رَحِمٍ أَفِيهَا أَجْرٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا أَسْلَفْتَ 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 me that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think of things that I used to do in the pre-Islamic era?" He said, "You have embraced Islam for what you have done before, and repentance is the act of worship."  

أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ أُمُورًا كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا أَسْلَفْتَ وَالتَّحَنُّثُ التَّعَبُّدُ  

[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] 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.
