حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيُّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الرَّجُلُ يُقَاتِلُ لِلْمَغْنَمِ، وَالرَّجُلُ يُقَاتِلُ لِيُذْكَرَ، وَيُقَاتِلُ لِيُرَى مَكَانُهُ، مَنْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ قَاتَلَ لِتَكُونَ كَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا فَهْوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ‏"‏.

বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ মূসা আশ‘আরী (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, ‘এক বেদুঈন নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর নিকট প্রশ্ন করল যে, কেউ যুদ্ধ করে গানীমাত লাভের জন্য, কেউ যুদ্ধ করে খ্যাতি অর্জনের উদ্দেশে আর যুদ্ধ করে বীরত্ব প্রদর্শনের জন্য, এদের মধ্যে কে আল্লাহর পথে যুদ্ধ করল?’ তখন আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন, ‘যে ব্যক্তি আল্লাহর কালিমা উচ্চ করার উদ্দেশে জিহাদ করে, সেই আল্লাহর রাহে জিহাদকারী।’ (১২৩) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২৮৯২, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
