If one intends to stand for prayer in the last part of the night, then stands up but is overcome by Satan and falls asleep, is he rewarded for his intention?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says: A man intended before sleeping to stand for the night prayer in the last third of the night. He actually stood up, but Satan overcame him and he returned to sleep. Is he rewarded for his intention? Please inform us, may you be rewarded.
Yes, he is rewarded. Whoever intends a good deed is rewarded for his intention. If he performs it, it is recorded as ten good deeds. If he does not perform it, it is recorded as one good deed, because the mere intention of a good deed is obedience to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). If he is unable to perform it, it is recorded for him as complete.
