English translation

2516. It was reported from Ibn Mikraz, a man from the people of Ash-Shām, from Abū Hurairah, that a man said: "O Messenger of Allāh! A man wants to engage in Jihād in the cause of Allāh, while he seeks some worldly gains?" The Prophet ﷺ said: "He will have no reward." So this was very difficult on the people. They said to the man: "Go back to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and ask him again, for you might not have been able to make him understand properly." He came back and said: "O Messenger of Allāh! A man wants to engage in Jihād in the cause of Allāh while he seeks some worldly gains?" The Prophet ﷺ said: "He will have no reward." They said to the man: "Go back to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ," so he said it to him for a third time. He said: "He will have no reward." (Hasan)

2516 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ مِكْرَزٍ، رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، رَجُلٌ يُرِيدُ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَهُوَ يَبْتَغِي عَرَضًا مِنْ عَرَضِ الدُّنْيَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا أَجْرَ لَهُ». فَأَعْظَمَ ذَلِكَ النَّاسُ، وَقَالُوا لِلرَّجُلِ: عُدْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَعَلَّكَ لَمْ تُفَهِّمْهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، رَجُلٌ يُرِيدُ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَهُوَ يَبْتَغِي عَرَضًا مِنْ عَرَضِ الدُّنْيَا، فَقَالَ: «لَا أَجْرَ لَهُ». فَقَالُوا: لِلرَّجُلِ عُدْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: الثَّالِثَةَ. فَقَالَ لَهُ: «لَا أَجْرَ لَهُ»
