حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ قَالَسَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ

إِنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّةِ، وَلِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا، أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يَنْكِحُهَا، فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ.

✧ Actions are only by intention, and every person will have only what he intended. Whoever's emigration was to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, then his emigration is to what he emigrated for. And whoever's emigration was for a worldly gain to attain it, or a woman to marry her, then his emigration is to what he emigrated for.
