Hakim bin Hizam reported to Urwa bin Zubair that he said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : Messenger of Allah, do you think if there is any reward (of the Lord with me on the Day of Resurrection) for the deeds of religious purification that I performed in the state of ignorance, such as charity, freeing a slave, cementing of blood-relations? Upon this he (the Apostle of Allah ﷺ ) said to him: You have accepted Islam with all the previous virtues that you had practised.
