Hadith of Intention
Umar Ibn al-Khattab reports that he heard the Messenger Slllh lyh W slm saying: “Actions only come from intention, and each man will get what he intends.” The migration of a person who is moving to Allah or His Messenger will be for Allah and the messenger. If he is migrating to gain some worldly advantage, to marry a woman, etc., then his migration will be for what he intended.
This Hadith is a very comprehensive and rich Hadith that represents the Islamic Faith.
Imam Bukhari chose the first hadith “Innamal a’malu binniyat” from Sahih Bukhari to introduce the entire collection in order to demonstrate the sincerity and purpose of the author. It reminds readers that the Hadiths found in the collection will only be effective if they are sincere and would have no meaning if their motives were not sincere.
