Hadith 1245
اُردوEn
1245 صحيح حديث عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّةِ، وَإِنَّمَا لاِمْرِى مَا نَوَى، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، فَهِجْرَتهُ إِلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ؛ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا، أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا، فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ
Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, actions are judged by intentions, and every person will get what he intended. So, whoever migrates for Allah and His Messenger, then his migration is for Allah and His Messenger. And whoever migrates for worldly gain or to marry a woman, then his migration is for that for which he migrated.
Brief Explanation
Imam Nawawi, in his commentary on Sahih Muslim, writes: The greatness of this hadith, its lofty status, its numerous benefits, and the consensus of all Muslims on its authenticity are established. Imam Shafi’i and other scholars state that it constitutes one third of Islam. And Imam Shafi’i says that it enters into seventy chapters of jurisprudence (i.e., rulings for seventy juristic issues are found within it). Abdur Rahman ibn Mahdi and others say that whoever wishes to author a book should begin with this hadith, so that the student and reader are alerted to the correction of intention. (Compiled)
