Hadith 1243

1243 صحيح حديث أَبِي مُوسى رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ: الرَّجُلُ يُقَاتِلُ لِلْمَغْنَمِ، وَالرَّجُلُ يُقَاتِلُ لِلذِّكْرِ، وَالرَّجُلُ يُقَاتِلُ لِيُرَى مَكَانُهُ، فَمَنْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ: مَنْ قَاتَلَ لِتَكُونَ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ
Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a companion (Lahik bin Dumayrah) came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: A person participates in battle to gain spoils of war, a person participates in battle for fame, and a person participates in battle so that his bravery becomes renowned—so which of these fights in the way of Allah? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever participates in battle with the intention that the word of Allah alone should be exalted, only he fights in the way of Allah.
