The People are of 4 types, and the deeds are 6.

 

From Khuraym ibn Faatik al-Asadee  -radiyallaahu `anhu- that the Prophet said:

 

<<The people are four, and the deeds are six.

So the people are:
[i]  one granted plenty in this world and in the Hereafter, and

 
[ii] one granted plenty in this world, poor in the Hereafter and,

 
[iii]one poor in this world, granted plenty in the Hereafter and,

 

[iv] one wretched in this world and in the Hereafter;

 

and the deeds are:

 

[i & ii] The two which are binding, and

 

[iii & iv] like for like, and

 

[v] ten times more, and

 

[vi] seven hundred times more:

 

 

[i & ii] So the two which are binding are:

 

Whoever dies as a Muslim, a Believer, not associating anything with  Allah  – then Paradise is binding for him; and whoever dies as a  Disbeliever – then the Fire is binding for him; and

 

[iii & iv]  Whoever intends an evil deed but does not  do it, and Allah  knows that his heart felt it and he desired it, then it is written as a good deed for him; and whoever intended an evil deed then it is not written against him; and whoever did it then it is written as one, and it is not multiplied for him, and

 

[v] whoever did a good deed – then ten times its like is written for him, and

 

[vi] whoever spends something in Allah’s cause, then it is multiplied for him seven hundred times over. >>

 

Reported by Ahmad (4/345), Ibn  Hibbaan (no.31), and Ibn Abee  Shaybah in his ‘Musnad’ (2/38/2).
– Shaikh al-Albaanee declared its chain of narration to be ‘Saheeh’.
