Hadith 4 - Deeds are by Their Final Actions

Sharh Arba'een an Nawawî

Imam Nawawi’s Forty Hadeeth

Hadeeth 4

On the authority of Abdullah ibn Masood (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he is the truthful, the believed, narrated to us, “Verily the creation of each one of you is brought together in his mother’s womb for forty days in the form of a nutfah (a drop), then he becomes an alaqah (clot of blood) for a like period, then a mudghah (morsel of flesh) for a like period, then there is sent to him the angel who blows his soul into him and who is commanded with four matters: to write down his rizq (sustenance), his life span, his actions, and whether he will be happy or unhappy (i.e., whether or not he will enter Paradise).

By the One, other than Whom there is no deity, verily one of you performs the actions of the people of Paradise until there is but an arms length between him and it, and that which has been written overtakes him, and so he acts with the actions of the people of the Hellfire and thus enters it; and verily one of you performs the actions of the people of the Hellfire, until there is but an arms length between him and it, and that which has been written overtakes him and so he acts with the actions of the people of Paradise and thus he enters it.”

It was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

Hadith Qudsi 16 Good Deeds count

http://islamicweb.com/quran/hadith_qudsi.htm

Hadith Qudsi 16:

On the authority of son of Abbas (may Allah [The Most High] be pleased with them both), from the Messenger of Allah [The Most High] , among the sayings he related from his Lord (glorified and exalted be He) is that He said: 

Allah has written down the good deeds and the bad ones. Then He explained it [by saying that] he who has intended a good deed and has not done it, Allah [The Most High] writes it down with Himself as a full good deed, but if he has intended it and has done it, Allah writes it down with Himself as from ten good deeds to seven hundred times, or many times over. But if he has intended a bad deed and has not done it, Allah writes it down with Himself as a full good deed, but if he has intended it and has done it, Allah writes it down as one bad deed. 

It was related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

INJUNCTIONS TO 'AMR BIN MURRA JUHANI - LETTERS OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD

Letters & Treaties of Muhammad the Messenger of Allah

INJUNCTIONS OF THE HOLY PROPHET(Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam) TO 'AMR BIN MURRA JUHANI

In the name Of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

This writing is from Allah, the Sublime, the Great. He disclosed what is right through His Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam) and gave him an eloquent Book. 'Amr Bin Murra shall have complete authority over his land. He may graze his cattle, wherever he likes and may water them, provided he keeps paying the fixed Zakat in respect of his cattle. There is no Zakat on draught cattle.

Allah and all the Muslims testify this agreement.

Note: Amar Bin Murra belonged to Juhaina tribe and owned some land. He had gone to perform Hajj, when one night he saw in a dream, above Kaba a glare which clearly showed the mountains of Medinah and Juhaina. He also heard somebody say "Darkness has gone and light has appeared. The last of the Prophets has come; Islam has appeared. Their idols have been shattered and the period of friendship and love has begun." He woke much perturbed. After sometime he came to know of the Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam) and went to him. The Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam) informed him of his prophethood and told him that Islam prohibited unlawful murder, rioting and idolatry and enjoined on them to keep fasts for a month in a year. He further affirmed that the person who accepted these injunctions, would go to paradise and who refused to do so would go to Hell. Amr immediately embraced Islam and asked for permission to go to his tribe and preach Islam to them. The people of his tribe except one, embraced Islam. On his return, the Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam) gave the above injunctions for the people of his tribe.
