Significance of intentions

عُمَرَ‭ ‬بْنَ‭ ‬الْخَطَّابِ‭ ‬عَلَى‭ ‬الْمِنْبَرِ‭ ‬قَالَ‭: ‬سَمِعْتُ‭ ‬رَسُولَ‭ ‬اللّٰه‭ ‬صلّى‭ ‬اللّٰه‭ ‬عليه‭ ‬وسلّم‭ ‬يَقُولُ‭: ‬إِنَّمَا‭ ‬الْأَعْمَالُ‭ ‬بِالنِّيَّاتِ،‭ ‬وَإِنَّمَا‭ ‬لِكُلِّ‭ ‬امْرِئٍ‭ ‬مَا‭ ‬نَوَى،‭ ‬فَمَنْ‭ ‬كَانَتْ‭ ‬هِجْرَتُهُ‭ ‬إِلَى‭ ‬دُنْيَا‭ ‬يُصِيبُهَا،‭ ‬أَوْ‭ ‬إِلَى‭ ‬امْرَأَةٍ‭ ‬ينكحها،‭ ‬فهجرته‭ ‬إلى‭ ‬ما‭ ‬هاجر‭ ‬إليه

It was narrated by Hazrat Umar ibn al-Khattab, while he stood upon the pulpit, “I heard Allah’s Messengersa proclaim, ‘Indeed, actions are judged by intentions, and every individual will receive [their reward] according to what they intended. Therefore, one whose migration was for worldly gain or to marry a woman, their migration will be accounted for as to that which they intended.’”

(Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab bad’i l-wahy, Hadith 1)
