English translation
[4927] 155 - (1907) It was narrated that ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Deeds are but with intentions and each man will have but that which he intended. If a man’s emigration was in the cause of Allāh and His Messenger, then his emigration was in the cause of Allāh and His Messenger, but if his migration was to achieve some worldly aim or to take some woman in marriage, his emigration was for that for which he emigrated.’”
