Hadith 1: Intention

Umar ibn Al-Khattab reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

    إِنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّةِ وَإِنَّمَا لِامْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ

    Verily, deeds are only with intentions. Verily, every person will have only what they intended. So whoever emigrated to Allah and His Messenger, then his emigration is for Allah and His Messenger. Whoever emigrated to get something in the world or to marry a woman, then his emigration is for whatever he emigrated for.

Repentance

On the authority of ameer ul-mumineen (the commander of the faithful), abu hafs Umar ibn

al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say, “Actions

are but by intentions and every man shall have only that which he intended. Thus he

whose migration (hijrah from Makkah to Madina) was for Allah and His Messenger,

his migration was for Allah and His Messenger, and he whose migration was to achieve

some worldly benefit or to take some woman in marriage, his migration was for that for

which he migrated.”

It is related by the two imams of the scholars of hadeeth, Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ismael

ibn Ibraheem ibn al-Mugheera ibn Bardizbah al-Bukhari and Abu-l-Husain Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj

ibn Muslim al-Qushairee an-Naisaboree, in their two Saheehs, which are the soundest of compiled

books [i.e., the most truthful books after the Book of Allah, since the Qur’an is not ‘compiled’].
