Riyad as-Salihin 1 (Book) #38386
Intention Determines Reward

SUMMARY: The deeds of a person are judged by their intentions and they will be rewarded accordingly.

'Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him), reported: The Messenger of Allah said, "The deeds are considered by the intentions, and a person will get the reward according to his intention. So whoever emigrated for Allah and His Messenger, his emigration will be for Allah and His Messenger; and whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration would be for what he emigrated for". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
