Here a doubt may arise in view of the Hadith in which the Holy Prophet ﷺ has been reported to have said: "Allah Almighty has forgiven my Ummah all that they thought of in their hearts unless they said or did it."
Here a doubt may arise in view of the Hadith in which the Holy Prophet ﷺ has been reported to have said: "Allah Almighty has forgiven my Ummah all that they thought of in their hearts unless they said or did it."
According to this Hadith it seems there is no accountability for what one thought but did not act upon. Imam al-Qurtubi has said that this Hadith relates to the worldly effects of an effect, for example, divorce, sales agreements, and gifts are not authentically concluded just by thinking about them, unless a person conducts these verbally or practically. Since this verse refers to the effects of an act appearing in the Hereafter there is no contradiction between the two.
