"الْغَزْوُ غَزْوَانِ: فَأمَّا مَنْ غَزَا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ الله وأَطَاعَ الإمَامَ وأَنْفَقَ الكَرِيمةَ ويَاسَرَ الشَّريكَ واجْتَنَبَ الفَسَادَ في الأَرْضِ فإِنَّ نَوْمَهُ ونُبْهَهُ أَجْرٌ كُلُّهُ، وأَمَّا مَنْ غَزَا فَخْرًا ورِيَاءً وسُمْعَةً وعَصَى الإِمَامَ وأَفْسَدَ في الأَرْضِ فإِنَّه لَمْ يرْجعْ بالكَفَافِ ".

"Military campaigns are of two types: as for the one who seeks the Face of Allah, obeys the imam, spends what is precious and avoids mischief, whether he is asleep or awake, he is earning reward. But as for the one who fights in order to show off and gain a reputation, and disobeys the imam and spreads mischief in the land, he comes back empty-handed." (Da 'if)

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "There are two types of warriors. As for those who strive for the sake of Allah and obey their leader, spend generously, cooperate with their brethren, and refrain from corruption, then indeed, their sleep and awakening will be rewarded in full. As for those who engage in combat seeking honor, fame, and reputation, disobey their leader, and spread corruption in the land, they will not return with even a sufficient amount." This hadith is narrated by Al-Hadrami and in another narration by Muhammad ibn Wahb. Abu Hurairah narrated the ending and said, "If one disobeys the leader and does not spend generously, he will not return with sufficiency."
