ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ نَفْيِ كَتْبَةِ اللَّهِ الْأَجْرَ لِمَنْ غَزَا فِي سَبِيلِهِ يُرِيدُ بِهِ شَيْئًا مِنْ عَرَضِ هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا الْفَانِيَةِ الزَّائِلَةِ

A man said: Messenger of Allah, a man wishes to take part in jihad in Allah's path desiring some worldly advantage? The Prophet ﷺ said: He will have not reward. The people thought it terrible, and they said to the man: Go back to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, for you might not have made him understand well. He, therefore, (went and again) asked: Messenger of Allah, a man wishes to take part in jihad in Allah's path desiring some worldly advantage? He replied: There is no reward for him. They again said to the man: Return to the Messenger of Allah. He, therefore, said to him third time. He replied: There is no reward for him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2516)   

ابن حبّان:٤٦٣٧ – أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَبَّانُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ عَنْ مِكْرَزٍ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيِّ بْنِ غَالِبٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَجُلُ يُرِيدُ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يَبْتَغِي مِنْ عَرَضِ الدُّنْيَا؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا أَجْرَ لَهُ» فَأَعْظَمَ ذَلِكَ النَّاسُ وَقَالُوا لِلرَّجُلِ عُدْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَعَلَّكَ لَمْ تُفَهِمْهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَجُلُ يُرِيدُ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يَبْتَغِي مِنْ عَرَضِ الدُّنْيَا؟ قَالَ «لَا أَجْرَ لَهُ» فَأَعْظَمَ ذَلِكَ النَّاسُ وَقَالُوا لِلرَّجُلِ عُدْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الثَّالِثَةَ رَجُلٌ يُرِيدُ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يَبْتَغِي مِنْ عَرَضِ الدُّنْيَا؟ قَالَ «لَا أَجْرَ لَهُ»
