Hadith 6445
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "The (reward of) deeds, depend upon the intentions and every person
will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for the sake of Allah and
His Apostle, then his emigration will be considered to be for Allah and His Apostle, and whoever
emigrated for the sake of worldly gain or for a woman to marry, then his emigration will be
considered to be for what he emigrated for."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 83, Hadith 66

Abu Talha said to Um Sulaim, "I heard the voice of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) rather weak, and I knew that it
was because of hunger. Have you anything (to present to the Prophet)?" She said, "Yes." Then she
took out a few loaves of barley bread and took a veil of hers and wrapped the bread with a part of it
and sent me to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). I went and found Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sitting in the mosque with some
people. I stood up before him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "Has Abu Talha sent you?" I said, ' Yes.
Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to those who were with him. "Get up and proceed." I went ahead of them
(as their forerunner) and came to Abu Talha and informed him about it. Abu Talha said, "O Um
Sulaim! Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has come and we have no food to feed them." Um Sulaim said, "Allah and
His Apostle know best." So Abu Talha went out (to receive them) till he met Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came in company with Abu Talha and they entered the house. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O
Um Sulaim! Bring whatever you have." So she brought that (barley) bread and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
ordered that bread to be broken into small pieces, and then Um Sulaim poured over it some butter
from a leather butter container, and then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said what Allah wanted him to say, (i.e.
blessing the food). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then said, "Admit ten men." Abu Talha admitted them and they ate
to their fill and went out. He again said, "Admit ten men." He admitted them, and in this way all the
people ate to their fill, and they were seventy or eighty men." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 83, Hadith 65
