Salaam alaykum warahmatuAllah wabarekatuhu
عن أبي موسى، رضي الله عنه أن أعرابيا أتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: يا رسول اللهالرجل يقاتل للمغنم، والرجل يقاتل ليذكر، والرجل يقاتل ليرى مكانه؟ وفي رواية: يقاتل شجاعة، ويقاتل حَمِيّة. وفي رواية: ويقاتل غضبًا، فمن في سبيل الله؟ فقال رسول الله صلى اللهعليه وسلم : ”من قاتل لتكون كلمة الله هي العليا، فهو في سبيل الله”
Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
A bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and asked:
“O Messenger of Allah! One man fights for booty, another fights to win fame, and the third fights for show off.” In another narration: “One fights for displaying his valour, another fights out of his family pride.” In another narration: “One fights out of rage.” He asked: “Which of them is fighting in the Cause of Allah?” The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, “The one who fights so that Word of Allah (Islam) be exalted, is the one who fights in the Cause of Allah.” Read other related ahadeeth here
May Allah bless us with guidance, patience, strength, wisdom, means, resources and undying spirit to strive in His cause, to make His Word Supreme. Aameen.
