Hakim ibn Hizam said to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, "Do you think that the acts of worship which I used to do in the time
of the Jahiliyya - maintaining relations with relatives, setting
slaves free and sadaqa - will bring me a reward?" Hakim said
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"When you become Muslim, you keep the good actions you have already done."
