Hadith No. 1, Sahih al-Bukhari | Importance of Niyyah in Islam | Sahih al-Bukhari

Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Raheem
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh

In this video, we present Hadith No. 1 from Sahih al-Bukhari, one of the most important hadiths in Islam and the foundation of the entire religion. This hadith teaches us a powerful and timeless principle:

👉 “Actions are judged by intentions (niyyah).”

📖 Narrated by Umar ibn Al-Khattab (RA):
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“Actions are according to intentions, and everyone will get what was intended. Whoever migrates for Allah and His Messenger, then his migration is for Allah and His Messenger. And whoever migrates for worldly gain or to marry a woman, then his migration is for that which he migrated.”
— Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 1, Hadith 1

This hadith was revealed during the time of Hijrah (migration). A man migrated from Makkah to Madinah, appearing to migrate for Allah and His Messenger ﷺ. However, his true intention was to marry a woman. The Prophet ﷺ clarified that although outward actions may look the same, Allah judges based on what is in the heart.

🌟 Key Lessons from Hadith 1 of Sahih al-Bukhari

1️⃣ No Action Has Value Without Sincere Intention
Prayer, fasting, charity, knowledge, and even Hijrah are meaningless if they are not done sincerely for Allah.

2️⃣ Same Action, Different Rewards
Two people may perform the same deed, but their reward differs based on intention.

3️⃣ Dunya or Akhirah—Intention Decides
• Intention for the world → reward in the world
• Intention for Allah → reward in the Hereafter

📖 Qur’an References Supporting This Hadith

Surah Al-Bayyinah (98:5)

“And they were commanded only to worship Allah, being sincere to Him in religion.”

Surah Al-Isra (17:19)

“Whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it while being a believer—their effort will be appreciated.”

⚖️ Examples of Intention (Niyyah)

• Praying so people praise you → Riya (Showing off)
• Praying to please Allah → True worship
• Giving charity for publicity → Worldly reward
• Giving charity secretly → Reward in the Hereafter

👉 Allah looks at the hearts, not appearances.

📚 Why Imam Bukhari Started Sahih al-Bukhari with This Hadith

Imam Bukhari رحمه الله began his entire collection with this hadith to remind us that knowledge, worship, dawah, and deeds are useless without sincere intention.

🤲 Du‘a

O Allah! Purify our intentions, make them sincere for You alone, and accept our deeds.
