No doubt that he heard it with his own ears and he has met the Prophet

Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam. What did he say he heard?

He heard the messenger,

Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam say,

Innamal Aamalu Bin Niyat

Innamal, indeed al-Aamalu the deeds bin Niyat are by their intentions.

Indeed the deeds are by their intentions. Aamal could also mean actions.

Indeed the actions are by their intentions.

Now al-Aamal that al-if and lam would mean all the deeds.

That is the depth of the Arabic language.

So we would not be wrong if we translated it as indeed all actions.

And then although the Arabic language is very powerful when they say bin Niyat

what actually is meant is are judged by their intentions.

So indeed all actions are judged by their intentions.

That is one of the most powerful statements from the Ahadith of Rasulullah

Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam connected to the actions of the heart.

All deeds, all actions shall be judged or are judged or are by their intentions.

So it means you need an intention, you have an action.

The two are together making up what you've done and what exactly you achieved,

tried to achieve, etc. you will be judged based on it by whom.

Well by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala ultimately because Allah alone knows what your intention was.
