Riyad as-Salihin 1343 (Book 11, Hadith 59) #37832
Fighting in the Cause of Allah

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that the only one who is fighting in the cause of Allah is the one who fights so that Word of Allah (Islam) be exalted.

Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A bedouin came to the Prophet and said: "O Messenger of Allah! One man fights for booty, another fights to win fame, and the third fights for show off". Another narration is: "One fights for displaying his valour, another fights out of his family pride". Another narration is: "One fights out of rage". He asked: "Which of them is fighting in the Cause of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah said, "The one who fights so that Word of Allah (Islam) be exalted, is the one who fights in the Cause of Allah". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن أبي موسى، رضي الله عنه أن أعرابيا أتى النبي فقال‏:‏ يا رسول الله الرجل 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 ‏:‏ ‏ "‏من قاتل لتكون كلمة الله هي العليا، فهو في سبيل الله‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏
