Summary

According to this explanation, the hadith on intentions was spoken in the context of the hijrah. One report from al-Zubair bin Bakar mentions a man who migrated to Madinah and married a woman who had also migrated, after which the Prophet SAW delivered the hadith from the pulpit. A report by al-Tabarani from Ibn Mas'ud describes a man who migrated in order to marry Ummu Qais and was thus called the Emigrant of Ummu Qais. The explanation also stresses that not every hadith has a sabab wurud.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Kesimpulannya, tidak semua hadith mempunyai asbab wurud sesebuah hadith.
