Allah does not wrong a believer in a good deed; he will be given on account of it in this world and will be rewarded for it in the Hereafter
Chapter: The Believer Is Rewarded For His Good Deeds In This World, And In The Hereafter, And The Disbeliever Is Rewarded For His Good Deeds In This World
Authentic
hadith of Sahih Muslim
Sahih Muslim 2808a
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Allah does not wrong a believer in a good deed; he will be given on account of it in this world and will be rewarded for it in the Hereafter. As for the disbeliever, he will be given the reward for the good deeds he has not performed for the sake of Allah in this world, and when he comes to the Hereafter, there will be no good deed for which he can be rewarded."
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) demonstrates the great favor of Allah towards the believers and His justice towards the disbelievers. As for the believer, He does not diminish the reward of any good deed he performs. Rather, He gives him a reward for it in this world in return for his obedience, in addition to the reward He keeps in store for him in the Hereafter. He may also keep the whole reward for him in the Hereafter. As for the disbeliever, Allah gives him the reward for his virtuous deeds in the form of good things in this life. But when he goes to the Hereafter, he will have no reward. This is because the good deed that brings benefit in this world and in the Hereafter must be performed by a believer.
Lessons
If a person dies as a disbeliever, his good deeds will not avail him.

وأما الكافر فيعطيه الله جزاء ما عمل من الحسنات بحسنات الدنيا، حتى إذا أفضى إلى الآخرة لم يكن له فيها ثواب يجزى بها؛ لأن العمل الصالح الذي ينفع في الدارين لا بد أن يكون صاحبه مؤمنًا.
وعن أنس، رضي الله عنه ،عن رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال: "إن الكافر إذا عمل حسنة، أطعم بها طعمة من الدنيا، أما المؤمن، فإن الله تعالى يدخر له حسناته في الآخرة، ويعقبه رزقاً في الدنيا على طاعته". وفي…
