Intentions are the basis for the judgement of actions upon them

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Deeds are ˹judged based˺ upon ˹their˺ intention, and a person ˹is granted the due for˺ what he intended. So whoever had emigrated for ˹the sake of˺ of Allah and His Messenger then the ˹due˺ for his emigration ˹is earned for the sake˺ of Allah and His Messenger. And whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for ˹the sake of˺ marrying a woman, then the ˹due˺ of his emigration ˹is earned for˺ what he emigrated for."  

(١) البخاري:٦٦٨٩حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ؛ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ قَالَ؛ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ يَقُولُ؛ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ؛ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَقَّاصٍ اللَّيْثِيَّ يَقُولُ؛ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ يَقُولُ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّةِ وَإِنَّمَا لاِمْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى۔ فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ؛ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا، فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ۔»
