عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَبِي حَفْصٍ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: «إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ، وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ امْرَأَةٍ يَنْكِحُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ».
Kutoka kwa Kiongozi wa Waumini, Abu Hafs Umar bin al-Khattab (Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake) amesema: Nilimsikia Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) akisema: "Hakika matendo yote yanategemea nia, na kila mtu atalipwa kulingana na kile alichonuia. Basi yule ambaye kuhama kwake kulikuwa kwa ajili ya Allah na Mtume Wake, basi kuhama kwake ni kwa ajili ya Allah na Mtume Wake. Na yule ambaye kuhama kwake kulikuwa kwa ajili ya kupata manufaa ya kidunia au mwanamke amwoe, basi kuhama kwake ni kwa kile alichohamia kwacho."
It is narrated on the authority of Amir al-Mu'minin, Abu Hafs 'Umar bin 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 each person will have but that which he intended. So he whose emigration was for Allah and His Messenger, his emigration was for Allah and His Messenger, and he whose emigration was for some worldly benefit he had or for a woman he will marry, his emigration was for that to which he emigrated."
Nia ndio kipimo kikuu cha usahihi na kukubaliwa kwa amali.
Kuhama kwa ajili ya Mwenyezi Mungu kunaleta thawabu kubwa.
Dhamira mbaya ya kidunia huharibu malipo ya amali.
