HADEETH 1: Purity and Sincerity of Intention

HADEETH 1: Purity and Sincerity of Intention

From 'Umar ibn
al-Khattaab (radiyallaahu 'anhu) who said that Allah's Messenger
(salallaahu 'alaihi wa'sallam) said:
Actions are but by intentions and there is for every person only that
which he intended. So he whose migration was for Allaah and His
Messenger, then his migration was for Allaah and His Messenger, and he
whose migration was to attain some worldly goal or to take a woman in
marriage, then his migration was for that which he migrated
