حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ کَثِيرٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّةِ وَلِامْرِئٍ مَا نَوَی فَمَنْ کَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَی اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَی اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَنْ کَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَی مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2529
Narrated `Umar bin Al-Khattab: The Prophet said, "The (reward of) deeds depend on intentions, and every person will get the reward according to what he intends. So, whoever migrated for Allah and His Apostle, then his migration will be for Allah and His Apostle, and whoever migrated for worldly benefits or for marrying a woman, then his migration will be for what he migrated for." (See Hadith No. 1, Vol. 1)
