[Machine] I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , along with my father and grandfather. Ali proposed to me and married me. I argued with him and he left a mark on me. My father brought two dinars to give as charity and he left them with a man. I took them and brought them to Ali. He said, "By Allah, I did not intend for you what you thought. O Yazid, you can keep what you took, O Ma'n."

A person is rewarded for what they intended even when the unintended happens

bukhari:1422 – Muḥammad b. Yūsuf > Isrāʾīl > Abū al-Jūwayriyah > Maʿn b. Yazīd

My grandfather, my father and I gave the pledge of allegiance to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ got me engaged and then got me married.

One day I went to the Prophet ﷺ with a complaint. My father Yazid had taken some gold coins for charity and kept them with a man in the mosque (to give them to the poor) But I went and took them and brought them to him (my father). My father said, "By Allah! I did not intend to give them to you. " I took (the case) to Messenger of Allah ﷺ . On that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Yazid, you will be rewarded for what you intended. O Ma'n, whatever you have taken is yours."

بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَا وَأَبِي وَجَدِّي، وَخَطَبَ عَلَىَّ، فَأَنْكَحَنِي۔ وَخَاصَمْتُ إِلَيْهِ۔

وَكَانَ أَبِي يَزِيدُ أَخْرَجَ دَنَانِيرَ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِهَا، فَوَضَعَهَا عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ۔ فَجِئْتُ فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا۔ فَقَالَ: وَاللَّهِ مَا إِيَّاكَ أَرَدْتُ فَخَاصَمْتُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: «لَكَ مَا نَوَيْتَ يَا يَزِيدُ وَلَكَ مَا أَخَذْتَ يَا مَعْنُ۔»
