Sunan an-Nasa'i 3139
أَخْبَرَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَبَلَةَ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ غَزَا وَهُوَ لاَ يُرِيدُ إِلاَّ عِقَالاً فَلَهُ مَا نَوَى " .
Harun ibn Abd Allah reported to me; he said: Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us; he said: Hammad ibn Salamah reported to us, from Jablah ibn Atiyyah, from Yahya ibn al-Walid, from Ubadah ibn al-Samit, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever goes on an expedition, intending nothing but a hobble-cord, will have what he intended.
Translation notes
An iqal is a small cord used to hobble a camel; this version again emphasizes that a person receives according to his intention.
