Sahih al-Bukhari 54
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّةِ، وَلِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا، أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا، فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ ".

Abdullah ibn Maslama narrated to us. He said: Malik informed us, from Yahya ibn Sa'id, from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim, from Alqama ibn Waqqas, from Umar, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Actions are according to intention, and each person has what he intended. Whoever's emigration is for Allah and His Messenger, his emigration is for Allah and His Messenger; and whoever's emigration is for worldly gain he seeks, or for a woman he marries, his emigration is for that for which he emigrated.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The English witness renders the opening as a statement about the reward of deeds; the Arabic says that actions are according to intention and does not state ‘reward’ in this clause.
