Reward on Intention

THE IMPORTANCE OF NIYYAH IN ISLAM

Ma`n bin Yazid bin Akhnas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: 

My father set aside some dinars for charity and gave them to a man in the mosque. I went to that man and took back those dinars. He said: "I had not intended you to be given.''
