أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ هِلَالٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حِمْيَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَامٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ شَدَّادِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ قَالَ
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا غَزَا يَلْتَمِسُ الْأَجْرَ وَالذِّكْرَ مَا لَهُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا شَيْءَ لَهُ» فَأَعَادَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ يَقُولُ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا شَيْءَ لَهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَقْبَلُ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ لَهُ خَالِصًا وَابْتُغِيَ بِهِ وَجْهُهُ»

✧ A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: What do you think of a man who goes on a military expedition seeking reward and remembrance? What is there for him? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Nothing for him." He repeated it three times, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him each time: "Nothing for him." Then he said: "Indeed, Allah does not accept any deed except what is purely for Him and by which His Face is sought."
