Sahih al-Bukhari 3898 (Book 63, Hadith 123) #3726
Intentional Actions Rewarded

SUMMARY: The reward of deeds depends on the intentions behind them. If someone emigrates for worldly benefits or to marry a woman, their emigration is for that purpose, but if they emigrate for the sake of Allah and His Messenger, then their emigration is for Allah and His Messenger.

Narrated 'Umar: I heard the Prophet saying, "The reward of deeds depends on the intentions, so whoever emigrated for the worldly benefits or to marry a woman, his emigration was for that for which he emigrated, but whoever emigrated for the Sake of Allah and His Apostle, his emigration is for Allah and His Apostle".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ـ هُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ ـ عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّةِ، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا، فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive To Have Good Intentions When Doing Any Action So That You Can Receive Its Full Reward From Allah .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that when we do something, our intention behind it matters. Our actions will be rewarded based on our intentions. For example, if someone decides to migrate from one place to another in order to find a better job or get married, then their migration will be rewarded according to what they intended it for. However, if someone migrates with the intention of pleasing Allah and His Messenger by following in their footsteps and spreading Islam's message around the world, then this action will be rewarded by Allah as well as His Messenger. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to have good intentions when doing any action so that we can receive its full reward from Allah.
