Sunan Ibn Majah 238 (Book) #37140
Keys to Good and Lock for Evil

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is encouraging people to do good deeds and avoid evil, as it contains many treasures.

It was narrated from Sahl bin Sa'd that: The Messenger of Allah said: "This goodness contains many treasures, and for those there are keys. So glad tidings to the one whom Allah makes a key to good and a lock for evil, and woe to the one whom Allah makes a key to evil and a lock to good".
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَيْلِيُّ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ هَذَا الْخَيْرَ خَزَائِنُ وَلِتِلْكَ الْخَزَائِنِ مَفَاتِيحُ فَطُوبَى لِعَبْدٍ جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ مِفْتَاحًا لِلْخَيْرِ مِغْلاَقًا لِلشَّرِّ وَوَيْلٌ لِعَبْدٍ جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ مِفْتَاحًا لِلشَّرِّ مِغْلاَقًا لِلْخَيْرِ

This hadith teaches us that by doing good deeds, we can unlock a world of blessings and rewards from Allah SWT. It also warns us against committing sins as it will lock us out from these blessings. We should strive to make sure that our actions are pleasing in the eyes of Allah SWT so that we can reap the rewards in this life and in the hereafter.
