It was narrated that Abu 'Umamah Al-Bahili said: "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'What do you think of a man who fights seeking reward and fame - what will he have?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'He will not have anything'. He repeated it three times, and the Prophet ﷺ said to him: 'He will not have anything'. Then he said: 'Allah does not accept any deed, except that which is purely for Him, and seeking His Face'."
The Prophet's response to the man who asked him about what would happen if someone fought for reward or fame was clear - he said three times "He will not have anything." This emphasizes how important it is for us to make sure our intentions are pure when doing any deed as only then can we expect acceptance from God Almighty.
