Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَن شَقِيقٍ عَن أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الرَّجُلِ يُقَاتِلُ شَجَاعَةً وَيُقَاتِلُ حَمِيَّةً وَيَقْتُلُ رِيَاءً فَأَيُّ ذَلِكَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ قَاتَلَ لِتَكُونَ كَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
English Translation
Abu Mu'awiya told us: al-A'mash told us, from Shaqiq, from Abu Musa, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked about a man who fights out of bravery, and one who fights out of tribal zeal, and one who fights to be seen - which of these is in the way of Allah Almighty? The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever fights so that the word of Allah is uppermost, he is in the way of Allah, Mighty and Majestic."
