Sunan an-Nasai 4195 (Book 39, Hadith 47) #18728
The Two Types of Military Campaigns

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that military campaigns can be done for two different reasons, either to seek the pleasure of Allah and obey the leader or to show off and disobey the leader.

It was narrated from Muadah bin Jabal that the Messenger of Allah said: "Military campaigns are of two types: as for the one who seeks the Face of Allah, obeys the imam, spends what is precious and avoids mischief, whether he is asleep or awake, he is earning reward. But as for the one who fights in order to show off and gain a reputation, and disobeys the imam and spreads mischief in the land, he comes back empty-handed". (Da 'if)
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَحِيرٌ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَحْرِيَّةَ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الْغَزْوُ غَزْوَانِ فَأَمَّا مَنِ ابْتَغَى وَجْهَ اللَّهِ وَأَطَاعَ الإِمَامَ وَأَنْفَقَ الْكَرِيمَةَ وَاجْتَنَبَ الْفَسَادَ فَإِنَّ نَوْمَهُ وَنُبْهَتَهُ أَجْرٌ كُلُّهُ وَأَمَّا مَنْ غَزَا رِيَاءً وَسُمْعَةً وَعَصَى الإِمَامَ وَأَفْسَدَ فِي الأَرْضِ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَرْجِعُ بِالْكَفَافِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that there are two types of military campaigns. The first type is when a person seeks the pleasure of Allah, obeys their leader, spends what is precious and avoids mischief. Whether they are asleep or awake, they will earn reward for this type of campaign. The second type is when a person fights in order to show off and gain a reputation, disobeys their leader and spreads mischief in the land. They will come back empty-handed from this type of campaign. It teaches us that we should always strive to do good deeds with pure intentions so we can receive rewards from Allah instead of doing things just for fame or recognition which will not benefit us in any way.
