Sahih Muslim 1904b (Book 33, Hadith 215) #12025
Fighting for the Sake of Allah

SUMMARY: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was asked which of the men fights in the way of Allah, and he replied that whoever fights to exalt the word of Allah is fighting in His way.

It has been narrated (through another chain of transmitters) on the authority of Abu Musa who said. The Messenger of Allah was asked which of the men fights in the way of Allah: (one who fights) for displaying his valour; (a man who) fights out of his family pride and (a man who) fights for the sake of show, who amongst these fights in the way of Allah? The Messenger of Allah said: Who fights that the word of Allah be exalted fights in the way of Allah.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَابْنُ، نُمَيْرٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ أَبِي، مُوسَى قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُقَاتِلُ شَجَاعَةً وَيُقَاتِلُ حَمِيَّةً وَيُقَاتِلُ رِيَاءً أَىُّ ذَلِكَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ قَاتَلَ لِتَكُونَ كَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

Fight with a pure heart and intention
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about fighting in the way of Allah. It explains that those who fight to exalt and spread the word of God are considered to be fighting for Him. This means that if someone is willing to put their life on line for a noble cause, such as protecting innocent people or defending their faith, then they are considered to be doing it for God's sake. It also teaches us that we should not fight out of pride or show off our strength but rather do it with a pure heart and intention.
