Hadith #50929
وَعَن أبي مُوسَى قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: الرَّجُلُ يُقَاتِلُ لِلْمَغْنَمِ وَالرَّجُلُ يُقَاتِلُ لِلذِّكْرِ وَالرَّجُلُ يُقَاتِلُ لِيُرَى مَكَانُهُ فَمَنْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «مَنْ قَاتَلَ لِتَكُونَ كَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ الله»
On the authority of Abu Musa, he said: A man came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and said: A man fights for spoils, a man fights for a male, and a man fights to be seen. In his place, who is in the path of God? He said: “Whoever fights so that the word of God is supreme is in the cause of God.”
