“I heard the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) say: ‘Actions are but by the intention and every man will
have
but that which he intended. So he whose emigration was for Allah
and
His Messenger, his emigration was for Allah and His Messenger.
But he
whose emigration was for some worldly benefit or to take some
woman in
marriage, his emigration was for that which he migrated.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 37, Hadith 128

“A man said: ‘O Messenger of
Allah, I do a good deed, then others find out about it and that
pleases me.’ He said: ‘You will have two rewards, the reward for
doing
it in secret and the reward for doing it openly (so that others
may
follow your example).’”

“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘The likeness of this nation is that of four people:
A
man to whom Allah gives wealth and knowledge, so he acts according
to
his knowledge with regard to his wealth, spending it as it should
be
spent; a man to whom Allah gives knowledge, but he does not give
him
wealth, so he says: “If I had been given (wealth) like this one, I
would have done what (the first man) did.” The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘They will be equal in reward. And a man to whom Allah
gives wealth but does not give knowledge, so he squanders his wealth
and spends it in inappropriate ways; and a man to whom Allah gives
neither knowledge nor wealth, and he says: “If I had (wealth) like
this one, I would do what (the third man) did.” The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘They are equal in their burden (of sin).’”
A
similar report (as above) was narrated from Ibn Abu Kabshah, from
his
father, from the Prophet (ﷺ).
