عَنْ أَمِيرِ المُؤْمِنِينَ أَبِي حَفْصٍ عُمَرَ بْنِ الخَطَّابِ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ، وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ امْرَأَةٍ يَنْكِحُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إلَيْهِ».
Kutoka kwa kiongozi wa waumini Abuu Hafsi Omari bin Khattwab radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yake amesema: Nilimsikia Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake akisema: "Hakika matendo yote huzingatiwa nia, na hakika kila mtu hulipwa kwa lile alilolinuia, atakayekuwa kuhama kwake ni kwa ajili ya Mwenyezi Mungu na Mtume wake basi (malipo yake yatakuwa) ni kwa ajili ya Mwenyezi Mungu na Mtume wake, na atakayekuwa kuhama kwake ni kwa ajili ya dunia ataipata, au kwa ajili ya mwanamke ili amuoe, basi kuhama kwake kutakuwa ni kwa lile alilolihamia".
The Commander of the Believers, Abu Hafs ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "Verily, the reward of deeds depends on intentions, and each person will be rewarded according to what he intended. So, he whose emigration is for the sake of Allah and His Messenger, his emigration will be for the sake of Allah and His Messenger, and he whose emigration is to achieve some worldly gain or take some woman in marriage, his migration will be for what he has migrated for."
