The questioner : ... What we mentioned earlier, O Shaykh, regarding ablution: if one does not intend to seek reward in the ablution, is the reward recorded for him?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : A man performed ablution in the mosque, but he did not intend to seek reward...
The Shaykh : Yes, but he is not like the one who intends to seek reward. The one who intends to seek reward has a more complete reward. Every righteous deed yields the reward attached to it, but with the intention of seeking reward, it is better.
