A good deed done: ten to seven hundred

الحسنة المعمولة بعشر أمثالها إلى سبعمائة ضعف

The root of the whole count: whoever intends a good deed and does it has ten good deeds written for him, up to seven hundred times, up to many times more, in the hadith qudsi related by Ibn Abbas Muslim 131 — God has written good deeds and bad deeds Bukhari 6491 — God has written good deeds and bad deeds; it agrees with the verse of al-An'am that gives a good deed ten like it Qur'an 6:160. Ten is the written minimum; what lies above it, to seven hundred and beyond, is a bounty the text does not cap. The calculator therefore shows this row as a range from ten to seven hundred, never as a single figure.
