Sahih al-Bukhari 4963 (Book 65, Hadith 485) #4745
The Weight of an Atom

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked about donkeys and he replied that the Quran contains a verse which encompasses all good and bad deeds, no matter how small.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet was asked about donkeys and he replied, "Nothing has been revealed to me regarding donkeys except this comprehensive Verse which includes everything: "So whoever does good equal to the weight of an atom (or a smallest ant) shall see it; And whoever, does evil equal to the weight of an atom or a smallest ant) shall see it'. (99:7-8)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ السَّمَّانِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، رضى الله عنه سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ عَنِ الْحُمُرِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَمْ يُنْزَلْ عَلَىَّ فِيهَا شَىْءٌ إِلاَّ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ الْجَامِعَةُ الْفَاذَّةُ ‏{‏فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ * وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ‏}‏‏"‏‏.‏

Do Good deeds
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of doing good deeds and avoiding bad ones. It teaches us that even if we do something small or insignificant, it will still be taken into account by Allah. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked about donkeys but instead of answering directly he referred to a verse in the Quran which states that whoever does good equal to the weight of an atom or a smallest ant shall see it; And whoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom or a smallest ant shall see it. This means that no matter how small our actions are they will still be taken into account by Allah on Judgement Day. We should strive to do as many good deeds as possible in order to receive rewards from Allah on Judgement Day.
