English translation

2517. It was reported from Shu'bah, from 'Amr bin Murrah, from Abū Wā'il, from Abū Mūsā, that a Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: "A man fights for reputation, one fight to be praised, one fights for the spoils of war, and one fights to show his bravery?" The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The one who fights so that the Word of Allāh is uppermost, then he is in the cause of Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2517 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يُقَاتِلُ لِلذِّكْرِ، وَيُقَاتِلُ لِيُحْمَدَ، وَيُقَاتِلُ لِيَغْنَمَ، وَيُقَاتِلُ لِيُرِيَ مَكَانَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ كَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ أَعْلَى، فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ»،
