THE PATH TO ALLAH

9

“The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, was asked: ‘Which among these is upon the Path of Allah: a man who fought out of bravery; a man who fought for tribal pride, or the man who fought for the sake of showing-off?’ He replied: 'Whosoever fights in order to let the Word of Allah be the highest is on the Path of Allah.'”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to (Abu Musa) Abdullah son of Kays al-Asha'ri said this.
