حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيُّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَقَّاصٍ اللَّيْثِيَّ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ

قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «إِنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ، وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ يَنْكِحُهَا، فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ»

I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saying, “The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for.”

‘আলক্বামাহ ইবনু ওয়াক্কাস আল-লায়সী (রহ.) হতে বর্ণিত। আমি ‘উমার ইবনুল খাত্তাব (রাঃ)-কে মিম্বারের উপর দাঁড়িয়ে বলতে শুনেছিঃ আমি আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে বলতে শুনেছিঃ কাজ (এর প্রাপ্য হবে) নিয়্যাত অনুযায়ী। আর মানুষ তার নিয়্যাত অনুযায়ী প্রতিফল পাবে। তাই যার হিজরাত হবে ইহকাল লাভের অথবা কোন মহিলাকে বিবাহ করার উদ্দেশে- তবে তার হিজরাত সে উদ্দেশেই হবে, যে জন্যে, সে হিজরাত করেছে। (৫৪, ২৫২৯, ৩৮৯৮, ৫০৭০, ৬৬৮৯, ৬৯৫৩; মুসলিম ২৩/৪৫ হাঃ ১৯০৭, আহমাদ ১৬৮)

کو حمیدی نے یہ حدیث بیان کی، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم کو سفیان نے یہ حدیث بیان کی، وہ کہتے ہیں ہم کو یحییٰ بن سعید انصاری نے یہ حدیث بیان کی، انہوں نے کہا کہ مجھے یہ حدیث محمد بن ابراہیم تیمی سے حاصل ہوئی۔ انہوں نے اس حدیث کو علقمہ بن وقاص لیثی سے سنا، ان کا بیان ہے کہ میں نے مسجد نبوی میں منبر رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم پر عمر بن خطاب رضی اللہ عنہ کی زبان سے سنا، وہ فرما رہے تھے کہ میں نے جناب رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے سنا آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم فرما رہے تھے کہ تمام اعمال کا دارومدار نیت پر ہے اور ہر عمل کا نتیجہ ہر انسان کو اس کی نیت کے مطابق ہی ملے گا۔

پس جس کی ہجرت ( ترک وطن ) دولت دنیا حاصل کرنے کے لیے ہو یا کسی عورت سے شادی کی غرض ہو۔ پس اس کی ہجرت ان ہی چیزوں کے لیے ہو گی جن کے حاصل کرنے کی نیت سے اس نے ہجرت کی ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Humaidi Abdullah bin Az Zubair] dia berkata, Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan] yang berkata, bahwa Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Sa'id Al Anshari] berkata, telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Ibrahim At Taimi], bahwa dia pernah mendengar [Alqamah bin Waqash Al Laitsi] berkata;

saya pernah mendengar [Umar bin Al Khaththab] diatas mimbar berkata; saya mendengar Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Semua perbuatan tergantung niatnya, dan (balasan) bagi tiap-tiap orang (tergantung) apa yang diniatkan; Barangsiapa niat hijrahnya karena dunia yang ingin digapainya atau karena seorang perempuan yang ingin dinikahinya, maka hijrahnya adalah kepada apa dia diniatkan

Alkame b. Vakkâs el-Leysî'den: O şöyle demiştir: Ömer İbnu'l-Hattâb'ın minberde şöyle dediğini duydum: Allah Resulü (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)’in şunları söylediğini duydum: "Ameller niyetlere göredir ve herkes için niyet ettiğinin karşılığı vardır. Kimin hicreti elde edeceği dünyalığa veya evleneceği bir kadına ise hicreti, hicret ettiği şeyedir.

Sahih al-Bukhari 1, Book 1, Revelation, Hadith 1. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) explains that all deeds are considered according to the intention behind them. This ruling generally applies to all deeds, including acts of worship and dealings. So, he who seeks by his deed some worldly benefit will attain that benefit and will not be rewarded for it. And he who performs a deed with the intention to draw close to Allah Almighty will be rewarded, even if his deed is an ordinary one, like eating and drinking. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) provided an example to illustrate the impact of intention while both deeds apparently look equal.

He pointed out that if a person migrates and leaves his homeland with the intention to win the pleasure of his Lord, his migration is a Shar‘i and accepted one, for which he will be rewarded, given his sincere intention; and if a person migrates to attain some worldly benefit, like wealth, high standing, business, or a wife, he will not attain anything from his migration except what benefit he intended, and no reward will be given to him.

What it teaches

  • The Hadīth urges us to be sincere, for Allah only accepts the deeds that are intended for His sake.
  • If a legally accountable person performs the deeds that are to be done to gain Allah's pleasure by way of habit, he will only be rewarded for them if he intends to draw close to Allah Almighty by doing them.
