Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
✦ Abu Huraira Radhi allahu anhu reported Allah's Apostle Sal-Allahu Alaihi Wasallam as saying: A man expressed his intention to give charity, so he came out with charity and placed it in the hand of an adulteress. In the morning, the people were talking and saying: charity was given to an adulteress last night. He (the giver of Sadaqa) said: O Allah! All the praises are for you (I had given charity ) to a adulteress
✦ He then again expressed his intention to give charity; so he went out with the charity and placed it in the hand of a rich person. In the morning the people were talking and saying: Charity was given to a rich person. He (the giver of charity) said: O Allah! All the praises are for you (I had given charity ) to a rich person
✦ He then expressed his intention to give charity, so he went out with charity and placed it in the hand of a thief. In the morning, the people were talking and saying: Charity was given to a thief.
✦ So (one of the persons) said: O Allah! All the praises are for (what a misfortune it is that charity has been given to) the adulteress, to a rich person. to a thief! There came (the angel to him) and he was told: Your charity has been accepted. As for the adulteress (the charity might become the means) whereby she might restrain herself from fornication. The rich man might perhaps learn a lesson and spend from what Allah has given him, and the thief might thereby refrain from committing theft.
Sahih Muslim, Book 5, Hadith 2230
✦ The Prophet Sal-Allahu Alaihi Wasallam said, "The (reward of) deeds depend on intentions, and every person will get the reward according to what he intends.
