Sahih Al Bukhari Volume 1. Hadith Saying of Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him.
Number 1 Narrated by 'Umar bin Al-Khattab razi allah tala anhu
I heard Allah's Apostle 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."

This is a hadith saying of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), narrated by Umar bin Al-Khattab razi allah tala anhu, who was one of the closest companions of the Prophet and the second Caliph of Islam.

The hadith emphasizes the importance of intentions in Islam. It highlights that the reward of one's deeds is closely tied to the sincerity and purity of one's intentions. In other words, the motivation behind an action matters greatly in Islam.

If someone performs a good deed with a sincere intention to please Allah and seek His reward, then they will be rewarded accordingly. On the other hand, if someone's actions are driven by worldly motives or personal gains, those intentions may diminish the value of the deed in the sight of Allah.

In the context of emigration (hijrah), the hadith is cautioning against migrating solely for worldly benefits or for the sake of marrying someone, as these intentions may not align with the greater purpose of seeking Allah's pleasure. It encourages believers to purify their intentions, ensuring that their actions are carried out for the sake of Allah and in accordance with His guidance.

This hadith is found in Sahih al-Bukhari, one of the most authentic collections of hadith in Islam, and it serves as a reminder for Muslims to constantly assess and rectify their intentions to ensure the sincerity of their actions.
