Umar ibn al-Khattab (may God be pleased with him)'s hadith on intention, the first hadith of al-Nawawi's Forty and of Ibn Rajab's commentary; transmitted by al-Bukhari (1, 54, 2529, 3898, 5070, 6689, 6953) and Muslim (1907) through Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Ansari from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Taymi from Alqama ibn Waqqas al-Laythi from Umar — the only sound chain according to the hadith scholars as al-Khattabi reports — with over two hundred narrators from Yahya ibn Sa'id; al-Bukhari opened his Sahih with it, and Ibn Rajab comments on intention, sincerity and the rulings of emigration (Jami' al-Ulum wal-Hikam pp. 29–69).
