حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، ‏:‏ أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا، جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏:‏ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يُقَاتِلُ لِلذِّكْرِ، وَيُقَاتِلُ لِيُحْمَدَ، وَيُقَاتِلُ لِيَغْنَمَ، وَيُقَاتِلُ لِيُرَى مَكَانُهُ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏:‏ ‏ "‏ مَنْ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ كَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ أَعْلَى فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏"‏ .

Narrator: Abu Musa

English translation
Abu Musa said “A beduoin came to the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) and said “One man fights for reputation, one fights for being praised, one fights for booty and one for his place to be seen. (Which of them is in Allaah’s path?)”. The Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) replied “The one who fights that Allaah’s word may have pre-eminence is in Allaah’s path.”

। আবূ মূসা (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। জনৈক বেদুঈন রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর কাছে এসে বললো, কোনো ব্যক্তি নাম প্রচারের জন্য যুদ্ধ করে, এক ব্যক্তি প্রশংসা লাভের জন্য যুদ্ধ করে, কোনো ব্যক্তি গানীমাত লাভের জন্য যুদ্ধ করে এবং কোনো ব্যক্তি তার বীরত্ব প্রদর্শনের জন্য যুদ্ধ করে। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেনঃ যে ব্যক্তি আল্লাহর কালেমাকে বুলন্দ করার জন্য যুদ্ধ করে কেবল সে-ই মহান আল্লাহর পথে জিহাদরত গণ্য হবে।
