Sahih Muslim 123c

Translation

I said: Messenger of Allah, I did so some of the deeds in the state of ignorance. (One of the transmitters Hisham b. Urwa explained them as acts of piety. Upon this the Messenger, of Allah remarked: You have embraced Islam with all the previous acts of virtue. I said: By God, I would leave nothing undone in Islam the like of which I did in the state of ignorance.

Ḥizām, who said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, there are things I used to do in the Jāhiliyyah (the pre-Islamic period)". Hishām said: meaning, seeking good deeds by them. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "You accepted Islam with the good that you had previously done." I said: "By Allah, I will not leave anything I did in the Jāhiliyyah except that I will do the like of it in Islam." Report a problem
