  • Does Quran Tells Us That Sin Cancels Out Some Good Deeds?

    Posted by Mohammad Ali Soomro on September 15, 2023 at 3:02 am

    Hello there, assalaam u alaikum.

    my question is that there’s a hadith that says

    حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ بُرَيْدَةَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي غَيْمٍ ، فَقَالَ : بَكِّرُوا بِصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ ، فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : مَنْ تَرَكَ صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ فَقَدْ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ .

    Sahih al-Bukhari 553

    Narrated Abu Al-Mahh [??]:

    We were with Buraida in a battle on a cloudy day and he said, “Offer the Asr prayer early as the Prophet said, "Whoever leaves theAsr prayer, all his (good) deeds will be annulled.”

    PS. i am not sure whether the real word of “all deeds” is used or just “deeds” is used in real Arabic script, because I’m not aware of Arabic Grammer. but when I used translation it didn’t say “all” deeds as is written in this translation. so please make sure what are the real words

    coming to the question, does any sin other that real blatant Kufr also cancels out some good deeds? is this idea supported by Quran? I’m not talking about Kufr, other sins than kufr, like missing a fast or Zina. if it is done, does Quran gives an idea that they would lose some good deeds?

    As per Quran, it is only apostasy that nullifies the good deeds (2:217). Abandoning salat, though a sin, does not wipe out the good deeds, as there is no such support to the claim in Quran. However, since salat is a deterrence against sins (29:45), leaving a Salat will result in weakening of resistance and will against sins. So there is a relationship.
    Conversely on the other hand, it can be argued that good deeds wipe out or remove the sins (11:114).
    This narration is most likely fabricated, as it is attempting to create a disproportionate hype that is not commensurate with the quality of Kindness of God, and is not supported by Quran.
