anything of the rights of people. Then he will set him up for the people and call out: "This is so-and-so, son of so-and-so; whoever has a right, let him come to his right." He will say: "The world has passed away, from where shall I give them their rights?" He will say: "Take from his good deeds and give to every one who has a right his right according to his demand." If he was a protege of Allah, and there remained for him an atom's weight, Allah will multiply it for him until He enters him into Paradise. Then he recited to us: "Indeed, Allah does not do injustice, [even] as much as an atom's weight." He said: "Enter Paradise." And if he was a wretched slave, the angel will say: "His good deeds are exhausted, yet many creditors remain for him." He will say: "Take from their evil deeds and add them to his evil deeds," then a decree will be stamped for him from the Fire.

5336 - Abu Zur'ah narrated to us, Yahya ibn 'Abdullah ibn Bukayr narrated to us, 'Abdullah ibn Lahi'ah narrated to me, 'Ata' ibn Dinar narrated to me, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr regarding His saying: "and if there is a good deed, He multiplies it": As for the polytheist, the punishment will be lightened for him on the Day of Resurrection, but he will never exit the Fire.

His saying, the Exalted: "and gives from Himself a great reward"

[The first view]

It was narrated from al-Hasan, Sa'id ibn Jubayr, 'Ikrimah, al-Dahhak, and Qatadah similarly.

The second view:

5338 - My father narrated to us, Abu Nu'aym narrated to us, Fudayl—meaning: Ibn Marzuq—narrated to us, from 'Atiyyah al-'Awfi, 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar narrated to me, who said: This verse was revealed concerning the Bedouins: "Whoever comes with a good deed will have ten times the like thereof." He said: So a man said: "What is for the Emigrants (Muhajirun), O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman?" He said: "What is better than that: 'Indeed, Allah does not do injustice, [even] as much as an atom's weight; and if there is a good deed, He multiplies it, and gives from Himself a great reward.'"

His saying, the Exalted: "a great reward"

5339 - My father narrated to us, 'Abdullah ibn Salih ibn Muslim narrated to us, Fudayl reported to us, from 'Atiyyah, 'Abdullah—meaning: Ibn 'Umar—narrated to me, who said: This verse was revealed: "and gives from Himself a great reward" after the multiplications. And when He calls something great, it is indeed great."
