Musnad Ahmad 300
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَنْبَأَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَقَّاصٍ اللَّيْثِيَّ، يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّمَا الْعَمَلُ بِالنِّيَّةِ وَإِنَّمَا لِامْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ.
Yazid narrated to us; Yahya ibn Sa‘id informed us that Muhammad ibn Ibrahim told him that he heard ‘Alqamah ibn Waqqas al-Laythi say: I heard ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, addressing the people and saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: ‘Actions are only by intentions, and each person will have only what he intended. So whoever’s migration is to Allah and His Messenger, his migration is to Allah and His Messenger; and whoever’s migration is for some worldly matter he seeks or for a woman he wishes to marry, his migration is to that for which he migrated.’
