[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, a man fights out of bravery, another fights out of defending his honor, and yet another fights out of showing off. Which of them is in the cause of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever fights so that the word of Allah is the highest, then he is in the cause of Allah." 18546 Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Abdan informed us that Ahmed ibn Ubayd al-Saffar reported to us that Uthman ibn Umar al-Dabbi narrated to us that Ibn Kathir narrated to us that Sufyan narrated to us that Al-A'mash narrated to us from Abu Wa'il from Abu Musa al-Ash'ari that a man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned it to him in a similar manner.
أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الرَّجُلُ يُقَاتِلُ شَجَاعَةً وَيُقَاتِلُ حَمِيَّةً وَيُقَاتِلُ رِئَاءً فَأِيُّ ذَلِكَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَاتَلَ لِتَكُونَ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ 18546 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الضَّبِّيُّ ثنا ابْنُ كَثِيرٍ ثنا سُفْيَانُ ثنا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ ؓ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ
