Hadith Actions are of six types and people are of four: two imperatives, one and its equal reward, one good deed with ten times as much reward, and one good deed with a seven-hundred-fold reward

عَنْ خُرَيْمِ بْنِ فَاتِكٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
«الْأَعْمَالُ سِتَّةٌ، وَالنَّاسُ أَرْبَعَةٌ، فَمُوجِبَتَانِ، وَمِثْلٌ بِمِثْلٍ، وَحَسَنَةٌ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا، وَحَسَنَةٌ بِسَبْعِ مِائَةٍ، فَأَمَّا الْمُوجِبَتَانِ: فَمَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَمَنْ مَاتَ يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ النَّارَ، وَأَمَّا مِثْلٌ بِمِثْلٍ: فَمَنْ هَمَّ بِحَسَنَةٍ حَتَّى يَشْعُرَهَا قَلْبُهُ، وَيَعْلَمَهَا اللهُ مِنْهُ كُتِبَتْ لَهُ حَسَنَةً، وَمَنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً، كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْهِ سَيِّئَةً، وَمَنْ عَمِلَ حَسَنَةً فَبِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا، وَمَنْ أَنْفَقَ نَفَقَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَحَسَنَةٌ بِسَبْعِ مِائَةٍ، وَأَمَّا النَّاسُ، فَمُوَسَّعٌ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا مَقْتُورٌ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ، وَمَقْتُورٌ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا مُوَسَّعٌ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ، وَمَقْتُورٌ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ، وَمُوَسَّعٌ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ».

Khuraym ibn Fātik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Actions are of six types and people are of four: two imperatives, one and its equal reward, one good deed with ten times as much reward, and one good deed with a seven-hundred-fold reward. As for the two imperatives, whoever dies while not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise, and whoever dies while associating anything with Allah will enter Hellfire. As for one and its equal, if a person intends to do a good deed until it is felt in his heart and known to Allah, it will be recorded for him as a good deed; and if a person does a bad deed, it is recorded against him as a bad deed; whoever performs a good deed will have ten times as much in reward; and whoever spends in the way of Allah will have a good deed multiplied seven hundred times. As for people, some are in opulence in worldly life while in straits in the Hereafter; some are in straits in worldly life while in opulence in the Hereafter; some are in straits in worldly life and the Hereafter; and some are in opulence in worldly life and the Hereafter."

Hasan Narrated by Ahmad Musnad Ahmad - 18900

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) reports that there are six types of deeds and four types of people. The six types of deeds are:
First: Whoever dies while not associating anything with Allah, Paradise is guaranteed for him.
Second: Whoever dies while associating anything with Allah Hellfire is guaranteed for him, forever.
These are the two imperatives.
Third: The intended good deed-If a person sincerely intends to do a good deed until he feels it in his heart and it becomes known to Allah, and then something occurs and he cannot do this good deed, it will be recorded for him as a full good deed.
Fourth: The committed sin-Whoever commits a sin, it is recorded against him as one sin.
These two are the one and its equal reward, without multiplication.
Fifth: A good deed multiplied ten times in reward-Whoever intends to do a good deed and performs it, it will be recorded for him as ten honorable deeds.
Sixth: A good deed multiplied seven hundred times-This is the good deed of spending in the way of Allah, which is recorded for its performer as seven hundred virtuous deeds. This is due to Allah's grace and bounty towards His servants.
As for the four types of people, they are:
First: One who has abundant sustenance in this world and finds bliss and whatever he wants in it, yet he will be in straits in the Hereafter and his destination will be Hellfire. That is the wealthy disbeliever.
Second: One who has little sustenance in this world, yet he will be opulent in the Hereafter and his destination will be Paradise. That is the poor believer.
Third: One who is in straits in this world and in the Hereafter. That is the poor disbeliever.
Fourth: One who enjoys opulence in this world and in the Hereafter. That is the wealthy believer.

Benefits from the Hadith

  1. The Hadīth points out Allah's great bounty towards His servants and His multiplication of rewards for their honorable deeds.
  2. It shows Allah's justice and generosity. In sins, He treats us with justice, recording one sin as one sin.
  3. It demonstrates the graveness of associating partners with Allah, a reason for deprivation from Paradise.
  4. It highlights the merit of spending in the way of Allah.
  5. The multiplication of rewards for spending in the way of Allah begins with seven-hundredfold, because it helps in elevating the word of Allah.
  6. It demonstrates the different types of people.
  7. Believers and non-believers may find opulence in this world, but in the Hereafter, opulence will only be for the believers.
