English translation

2515. It was reported from Mu'ād bin Jabal that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Military campaigns are of two types: As for the one who fights (in the cause of Allāh) seeking His Countenance, obeys the Imām, spends what is precious, deals with ease with his associates, and avoids mischief, whether he is asleep or awake, he is earning reward. But as for the one who fights out of pride, and in order to show off and gain a reputation, and disobeys the Imām, and spreads mischief in the land, he comes back empty-handed." (Da'if)

2515 - حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، حَدَّثَنِي بَحِيرٌ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَحْرِيَّةَ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " الْغَزْوُ غَزْوَانِ: فَأَمَّا مَنْ ابْتَغَى وَجْهَ اللَّهِ، وَأَطَاعَ الْإِمَامَ، وَأَنْفَقَ الْكَرِيمَةَ، وَيَاسَرَ الشَّرِيكَ، وَاجْتَنَبَ الْفَسَادَ، فَإِنَّ نَوْمَهُ وَنُبْهَهُ أَجْرٌ كُلُّهُ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ غَزَا فَخْرًا وَرِيَاءً وَسُمْعَةً، وَعَصَى الْإِمَامَ، وَأَفْسَدَ فِي الْأَرْضِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ بِالْكَفَافِ "
