Have good intentions in your actions

This hadith is about the importance of having good intentions in our actions. It was narrated by Ma’n bin Yazid who said that his grandfather, father and he gave the pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger. The Prophet got him engaged and then married him off. One day, Ma’n went to the Prophet with a complaint; his father had taken some gold coins for charity and kept them with a man in the mosque but Ma’n took them without permission from his father. His father said he did not intend to give them to him but when they took it up with Allah's Messenger, He said that whatever Ma’n had taken was rightfully his and that Yazid would be rewarded for what he intended. This teaches us an important lesson; we will be judged on our intentions as well as our actions so it is important to have good intentions when doing something even if it does not turn out as planned or expected.
