إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ يَنْكِحُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ

Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."

Sahih Bukhari·1
intention

الطُّهُورُ شَطْرُ الإِيمَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلأُ الْمِيزَانَ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلآنِ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَالصَّلاَةُ نُورٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ بُرْهَانٌ وَالصَّبْرُ ضِيَاءٌ وَالْقُرْآنُ حُجَّةٌ لَكَ أَوْ عَلَيْكَ كُلُّ النَّاسِ يَغْدُو فَبَائِعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُعْتِقُهَا أَوْ مُوبِقُهَا

Abu Malik at-Ash'ari reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Cleanliness is half of faith and al-Hamdu Lillah fills the scale, and Subhan Allah and al-Hamdu Lillah fill up what is between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is a light, and charity is proof (of one's faith) and endurance is a brightness and the Holy Qur'an is a proof on your behalf or against you. All men go out early in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves."

Sahih Muslim·223
cleanliness

الدُّعَاءُ هُوَ الْعِبَادَةُ

Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir: from the Prophet (ﷺ) regarding Allah's saying, "Your Lord said: Invoke Me, I shall respond to you" — he said, "The supplication is the worship," then he recited: "Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell in humiliation." (Ghafir 40:60)

Tirmidhi·2969
worship

مِنْ حُسْنِ إِسْلاَمِ الْمَرْءِ تَرْكُهُ مَا لاَ يَعْنِيهِ

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Indeed among the excellence of a person's Islam is that he leaves what does not concern him."

Tirmidhi·2317
mindfulness

لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ حَقَّ تَوَكُّلِهِ لَرُزِقْتُمْ كَمَا يُرْزَقُ الطَّيْرُ تَغْدُو خِمَاصًا وَتَرُوحُ بِطَانًا

Umar ibn al-Khattab reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "If you were to rely upon Allah with the reliance He is due, He would provide for you just as He provides for the birds: they go out in the morning hungry and return in the evening full."

Tirmidhi·2344
reliance

مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَذْكُرُ رَبَّهُ وَالَّذِي لاَ يَذْكُرُ رَبَّهُ مَثَلُ الْحَىِّ وَالْمَيِّتِ

Abu Musa al-Ash'ari reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The example of the one who remembers his Lord and the one who does not remember his Lord is like the living and the dead."

Sahih Bukhari·6407
dhikr

كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ يُضَاعَفُ الْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَى سَبْعِمِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ، قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: إِلاَّ الصَّوْمَ فَإِنَّهُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ، يَدَعُ شَهْوَتَهُ وَطَعَامَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Every deed of the son of Adam is multiplied — a good deed receiving tenfold to seven hundredfold reward — except fasting, for Allah the Almighty says: 'It is for Me and I shall reward it Myself, for he gives up his desire and his food for My sake.'"

Sahih Bukhari·1904
fasting

أَفْضَلُ الصَّلاَةِ بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer (Qiyam al-Layl)."

Sahih Muslim·1163
worship

أَحَبُّ الأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَدْوَمُهَا وَإِنْ قَلَّ

Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The most beloved deeds to Allah are those which are done consistently, even if they are small."
