There are no Actions without intention

Every action performed by the mentally balanced and unrestricted individual necessarily has an intention. It is impossible for such an individual to perform an action without having any intention for it. Some scholars even say: “If Allah had charged us with performing an action without intention, it would have been assigning that which is unrealizable!” And rightly, how can you, while mentally balanced, fully conscious, free, and not coerced, perform an action without an intention? This is impossible since an action only stems from will and ability, and the will is the intention. So, the first expression in the hadeeth means that: no one performs a deed without an intention.
