This ḥadīth has been described as the axis of Islam or that about which the religion revolves. Al-Imām Aḥmad observed that the fundamental precepts of Islam are found in three ḥadīths: that of ʽUmar: "Deeds are only by intentions," that of ʽĀ'ishah: "Whoever innovates in this matter of ours..."1 and that of an-Nu`mān bin Basheer: "Ḥalāl is clear and ḥarām is clear..."2 Al-Bukhāri began his collection with this ḥadīth, almost as if making it an introductory discourse in which he indicates the worthlessness of any deed not done solely for Allah.
