Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1907b
This entry is a supporting narration for the hadith about intention. It reports the tradition through different chains and mentions that Sufyan heard Umar b. al-Khattab relate it from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم while he was delivering a sermon from the pulpit. The text does not add a new example beyond the meaning already known in the connected report, so the focus should stay on the wording: actions are judged by intentions. For readers looking for innamal amalu binniyat, this version matters because it shows the Hadith being taught publicly. The lesson remains clear: intention gives direction to deeds, and a person receives according to what he intended.
What we learn from this hadith
- This narration supports the well-known Hadith about intention.
- Umar is described as relating it from the pulpit.
- The report keeps attention on intention as the measure of deeds.
- Different chains can preserve the same meaning without adding a new ruling.
