وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍۢ شَرًّۭا يَرَهُۥ ٨
Ibn Abi Hatim has related from him. He says: “When the verse ‘Fa-man ya mal mithqala dharratin khairan yarah, wa man ya mal mithqala dharratin sharran yarah’, was revealed, I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, shall I really see my deeds?’ The Holy Messenger replied in the affirmative. I submitted: ‘And every major sin?’ He replied ‘yes.’ I said: ‘And the minor sins too?’ He replied ‘yes.’ Thereupon I exclaimed that I would then be ruined. The Holy Prophet said: Rejoice, O Abu Sa’id, for each good act will be equal to ten good acts like it.”
