Chapter: Regarding A Person Who Fights For Worldly Gain.

باب فِي مَنْ يَغْزُو وَيَلْتَمِسُ الدُّنْيَا

English narration

Narrated by معاذ بن جبل الأنصاري

Narrated Muadh ibn Jabal: The Prophet ﷺ said: Fighting is of two kinds: The one who seeks Allah's favour, obeys the leader, gives the property he values, treats his associates gently and avoids doing mischief, will have the reward for all the time whether he is asleep or awake; but the one who fights in a boasting spirit, for the sake of display and to gain a reputation, who disobeys the leader and does mischief in the earth will not return credit or without blame.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ ، حَدَّثَنِي بَحِيرٌ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَحْرِيَّةَ ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : "

الْغَزْوُ غَزْوَانِ فَأَمَّا مَنِ ابْتَغَى وَجْهَ اللَّهِ ، وَأَطَاعَ الْإِمَامَ ، وَأَنْفَقَ الْكَرِيمَةَ وَيَاسَرَ الشَّرِيكَ ، وَاجْتَنَبَ الْفَسَادَ ، فَإِنَّ نَوْمَهُ وَنُبْهَهُ أَجْرٌ كُلُّهُ ، وَأَمَّا مَنِ غَزَا فَخْرًا وَرِيَاءً وَسُمْعَةً وَعَصَى الْإِمَامَ وَأَفْسَدَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ بِالْكَفَافِ
