Question:
How is the reconciliation between the hadith of the previous lesson, which is the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):
And a servant whom Allah has not provided with wealth or knowledge, so he says: If I had wealth, I would do with it the work of so-and-so. He is by his intention, and their two burdens are equal.وعبد لم يرزقه الله مالًا ولا علمًا فهو يقول: لو أنَّ لي مالًا لعملتُ فيه بعمل فلان، فهو بنيته، ووزرهما سواء
, and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
Allah, the Most High, has forgiven my followers what they contemplate on within themselves (i.e. evil thoughts) as long as they do not act upon or speak about themإنَّ الله تجاوز عن أمتي ما حدَّثَتْ به أنفسها ما لم تعمل به أو تكلَّم
Bulugh al-Maram 8:133

Answer:
The hadith regarding intrusive thoughts causes no harm, and there is no action upon him for it. As for this, he is a sincere resolver: if he had like so-and-so, he would have known, and the matter is not an intrusive thought, but a resolution and sincerity.
Q: Meaning: are intentions in good recorded?
A: Intentions of good are recorded for him if he is sincere.
