1779. THE ROLE OF INTENTION IN THE HEREAFTER

6307.الكافي عن الإمام الصّادق عليه السلام : إنّما خُلِّدَ أهلُ النّارِ في النّارِ لأنّ نِيّاتِهِم كانَت في الدُّنيا أن لَو خُلِّدوا فيها أن يَعصُوا اللَّهَ أبداً ، وإنّما خُلِّدَ أهلُ الجَنّةِ في الجَنّةِ لأنّ نِيّاتِهِم كانَت في الدُّنيا أن لَو بَقُوا فيها أن يُطِيعوا اللَّهَ أبَداً ، فبِالنِّيّاتِ خُلِّدَ هؤلاءِ وهؤلاءِ ، ثُمّ تَلا قولَهُ تعالى‏ : (قُلْ كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ عَلى‏ شاكِلَتِهِ)¹قالَ : على‏ نِيَّتِهِ .²

6307.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'The people of Hell will dwell eternally in Hell because their intentions in the world were such that if they were to remain there forever they would disobey Allah forever, and the people of Heaven will dwell eternally in Heaven because their intentions in the world were such that if they were to remain there forever, they would obey Allah. Therefore, it is according to their intentions that these people and those people will have everlasting abodes. He then recited Allah's verse in the Qur'an: "Say, 'Everyone acts according to his character' ³ , and said, [meaning] 'With his intention.' ⁴

1778. THE ROLE OF INTENTION IN ACTION

6302.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : يا أيُّها النّاسُ، إنّما الأعمالُ بالنِّيّاتِ ، وإنّما لِكُلِّ امرئٍ ما نَوى‏ ، فمَن كانَت هِجرَتُهُ إلَى اللَّهِ ورَسولِهِ فهِجرَتُهُ إلَى اللَّهِ ورَسولِهِ ، ومَن كانَت هِجرَتُهُ إلى‏ دُنيا يُصيبُها أوِ امرأةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُها فهِجرَتُهُ إلى‏ ما هاجَرَ إلَيهِ .¹

6302.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'O people, actions are according to intentions, and every person will have what he intended. So, whoever's migration was to Allah and His Messenger then his migration is to Allah and His Messenger, and whoever's migration was to the world to gain from it, or to a woman to marry her, then their migration will be to whatever they migrated to.' ²

6303.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله - لَمّا أغزى‏ علِيّاً عليه السلام فيِ سَرِيَّةٍ ، فقالَ رجُلٌ لأخٍ لَهُ : اُغْزُ بِنا في سَرِيّةِ علِيٍّ لَعلَّنا نُصيبُ خادِماً أو دابَّةً أو شَيئاً نَتَبَلَّغُ بهِ - : إنّما الأعمالُ بالنِّيّاتِ ، ولكُلِّ امرئٍ ما نَوى‏ ، فمَن غَزا ابتِغاءَ ما عِندَ اللَّهِ فَقد وَقَعَ أجرُهُ علَى اللَّهِ ، ومَن غَزا يُريدُ عَرَضَ الدُّنيا أو نَوى‏ عِقالاً لَم يَكُن لَهُ إلّا ما نَوى‏ .³

6303. The Prophet (SAWA), when he sent Ali on a military expedition with a brigade, and a man said to his brother, 'Lets go on the military expedition with the brigade of Ali, we might get a slave or an animal or something of value- said, 'Actions are according to intentions, and every person has what they intend. So whoever goes on a conquest in search of what is with Allah then their reward will be from Allah, and whoever goes on a conquest in search of worldly affairs or intends restraints will not get other than what he intended.' ⁴
