حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يُقَاتِلُ لِلذِّكْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيُقَاتِلُ لِيُحْمَدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيُقَاتِلُ لِيَغْنَمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيُقَاتِلُ لِيُرِيَ مَكَانَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ كَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ أَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ .

“A beduoin came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and said “One man fights for reputation, one fights for being praised, one fights for booty and one for his place to be seen. (Which of them is in Allah’s path?)”. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم replied “The one who fights that Allah’s word may have pre-eminence is in Allah’s path. ”
