49.6 Manumission and divorce by mistake or forgetfulness

٤٩۔٦ باب الْخَطَإِ وَالنِّسْيَانِ فِي الْعَتَاقَةِ وَالطَّلاَقِ وَنَحْوِهِ، وَلاَ عَتَاقَةَ إِلاَّ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "Everyone will have what they intend" and there is no intention for the forgetful and the mistaken.

وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى» وَلاَ نِيَّةَ لِلنَّاسِي وَالْمُخْطِئِ.

God overlooks evil temptations so long as they are not exposed or acted upon

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah has overlooked for me for my Ummah what whispers or tempts their hearts, unless they put it to action or utter it."  

البخاري:٢٥٢٨حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَجَاوَزَ لِي عَنْ أُمَّتِي مَا وَسْوَسَتْ بِهِ صُدُورُهَا مَا لَمْ تَعْمَلْ أَوْ تَكَلَّمْ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The (reward of) deeds depend on intentions, and every person will get the reward according to what he intends. So, whoever migrated for Allah and His Apostle, then his migration will be for Allah and His Apostle, and whoever migrated for worldly benefits or for marrying a woman, then his migration will be for what he migrated for." (See Hadith No. 1, Vol. 1)  

البخاري:٢٥٢٩حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّةِ وَلاِمْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ
