Sahih al-Bukhari 3123 (Book 57, Hadith 32) #2986
Rewards of Striving in the Cause of Allah

SUMMARY: Allah guarantees those who strive in His cause and have a sincere motivation for going out to fight, that He will either admit them into Paradise or bring them back to their homes with rewards and booty.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said, "Allah guarantees him who strives in His Cause and whose motivation for going out is nothing but Jihad in His Cause and belief in His Word, that He will admit him into Paradise (if martyred) or bring him back to his dwelling place, whence he has come out, with what he gains of reward and booty".
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ تَكَفَّلَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ، لاَ يُخْرِجُهُ إِلاَّ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِهِ وَتَصْدِيقُ كَلِمَاتِهِ، بِأَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ، أَوْ يَرْجِعَهُ إِلَى مَسْكَنِهِ الَّذِي خَرَجَ مِنْهُ ‏{‏مَعَ مَا نَالَ‏}‏ مِنْ أَجْرٍ أَوْ غَنِيمَةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the rewards of striving in the cause of Allah. It is narrated by Abu Huraira, who was one of Prophet Muhammad's companions. The hadith states that those who strive in the cause of Allah and have a sincere motivation for doing so will be rewarded by either being admitted into paradise or returning home with rewards and booty. This teaches us that we should always strive to do good deeds for the sake of Allah, as He will reward us greatly for it. We should also remember that our motivations must be pure; if we are doing something only because we want worldly gain, then it won't be accepted by Him.
