Sincerity and Being Conscious of One’s Intention

1). On authority of `Umar bin al-Khattab, he said I heard the

Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص say:

ال بلن ية ا الناس إناا األاعما انات ،يا أاي ها إناا المرئ ماا ن اواى، فامان كا واهجراته إلا الل واراسوله، فاهجراته إلا الل واراسوله، وامان هااجارا إلا دن ياا

ا، فاهجراته إلا ماا هااجارا إلايه ا أاو امراأاة ي ات ازاوجها يصيب ها

“O people! 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 Allah and His Apostle, then

his emigration was for Allah and His Apostle, and whoever

emigrated to take worldly benefit or for a woman to marry, then

his emigration was for what he emigrated for". [Agreed Upon]

2). On authority of Anas said the Messenger of Allah ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص said:

وباة عابده من أاحادكم ساقاطا أاف راح بت ا عالاى باعريه،الل واقاد أاضاله ف أارض فاالاة

"Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His slave than

anyone of you is pleased with finding his camel which he had lost

in the desert". [Agreed Upon]

ه عندا الغاضاب لك ن افسا لايسا الشديد بلصراعاة، إناا الشديد الذي يا

strength, but the strong is the one who controls himself while

in anger." [Agreed Upon]

4). On authority of Abu Saeed al-Khudri and Abu Huraira on the

authority of the Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص said:

يصيب المسلما من ناصاب واالا واصاب واالا هام واالا حزن واالا أاذى واالا ماا ه باا من خاطاايا ا، إال كافرا الل اكها ة يشا غام حات الشوكا

"No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor

distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives

كاذاب الفجورا ي اهدي إلا النار، واإن الرجلا لاياكذب، حات يكتابا عندا الل

a liar". [Agreed Upon]

amongst the people?" He replied, "The most honorable among

them is the one who is the most Allah-fearing." They said, "O

most honorable person is Joseph, Allah's Prophet, the son of

Allah's Prophet, the son of Allah's Prophet, the son of Allah's

Khalil." They said, "We do not ask about this." He said, "Then
