[9].Surah At-Taubah [The Repentance]

Ayat 38. O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that when you are asked to march forth in the Cause of Allah (i.e. Jihad) you cling heavily to the earth? Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared with the Hereafter.

Ayat 39. If you march not forth, He will punish you with a painful torment and will replace you by another people, and you cannot harm Him at all, and Allah is Able to do all things.

Hadith الحديث

English Translation of Hadith

Hazrat Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) and said: "O Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) ! One man fights for booty, another fights to win fame, and the third fights for show off.'' Another narration is: "One fights for displaying his valour, another fights out of his family pride.'' Another narration is: "One fights out of rage.'' He asked: "Which of them is fighting in the Cause of Allah?'' The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "The one who fights so that Word of Allah (Islam) be exalted, is the one who fights in the Cause of Allah.'' [Al-Bukhari Hadith # 2810].

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah At-Taubah Ayat 38. "Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter?" We learn from this Hadith that one who fights for any worldly interest is not a Mujahid. Only he is a Mujahid who fights for the religion of Allah and to win His Pleasure alone.
