(25) باب فِي مَنْ يَغْزُو وَيَلْتَمِسُ الدُّنْيَا
Narrated Mu'adh ibn Jabal:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Fighting is of two kinds: The one who seeks Allah's favour, obeys the leader, gives the property he values, treats his associates gently and avoids doing mischief, will have the reward for all the time whether he is asleep or awake; but the one who fights in a boasting spirit, for the sake of display and to gain a reputation, who disobeys the leader and does mischief in the earth will not return credit or without blame.
