4229 - أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّمَا يُبْعَثُ النَّاسُ عَلَى نِيَّاتِهِمْ»

Commentary
Reward and punishment is granted based on the intention. Some people commit sin and claim that their intention is good; it is an absolute mistake. Committing sins deliberately is considered a bad intention even if he has excuses for his action. For example; stealing with the intention of giving the stolen items in charity is a sin, rather it is a greater sin since the person, in this case, considers his bad deeds to be appropriate. Therefore, instead of feeling shame and repenting from those sins, he will be proud of it.
