How sound is the saying that three deeds will not be weighed on the Day of Judgment due to their immense greatness: pardoning people, because Allah Almighty says: "So whoever pardons and makes reconciliation – his reward is due from Allah"; and patience, because Allah Almighty says: "Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without reckoning"; and fasting, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, narrates from his Lord: "Every deed of the son of Adam is for him, except fasting, for it is for Me, and I shall reward for it"? And will a caller proclaim on the Day of Resurrection: "Where are those whose reward is due from Allah?" whereupon the patient, the fasters, and those who pardon people will step forward?
Among the things that must be believed in is the weighing of the deeds of servants, who will be held accountable with a tangible balance having two pans and a tongue. In it will be placed the scrolls of deeds or the deeds themselves after they have been embodied. However, this balance is not for everyone; those who are not held accountable will not have their deeds weighed. Some great scholars have mentioned that the deeds of those who are patient will not be weighed, but rather their reward will be poured upon them abundantly. The absence of a specific determined reward for certain deeds is not evidence against the weighing, for example, good character is the heaviest thing in a believer's balance on the Day of Judgment.
