إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ، وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى

Actions are judged by intentions, and every person will have what they intended. So whoever migrated for Allah and His Messenger, their migration is for Allah and His Messenger; and whoever migrated for worldly gain or to marry a woman, their migration is for what they migrated to.

مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ

Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak good or remain silent. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should be generous to his neighbour. And whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should be generous to his guest.
