Who fights to make Allah’s religion supreme.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! A man fights for loot, a man fights for fame, and a man fights to show his status—so which one is fighting in the way of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever fights so that the word of Allah is exalted, he is the one who fights in the way of Allah."
Who fights to show off to people.
Sulaiman bin Yasar says that when the people departed from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), Natil, who was from the people of Syria (Natil bin Qais Kharami, he was from Palestine and a Tabi'i, his father was a companion), said, "O Sheikh! Narrate to me a hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Alright, I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he used to say: The first person whose case will be decided on the Day of Resurrection will be a man who was martyred. When he will be brought before Allah, Allah will make him recognize His blessings, and he will recognize them. Allah will ask, 'What did you do for them?' He will say, 'I fought in Your way until I was martyred.' Allah will say, 'You have lied. You fought so that people would call you brave, and you were called brave.' Then it will be ordered, and he will be dragged on his face and thrown into Hell.
And there will be a man who acquired knowledge, taught it, and recited the Qur'an. He will be brought before Allah. Allah will make him recognize His blessings, and he will recognize them. Then it will be said, 'What did you do for them?' He will say, 'I acquired knowledge, taught it, and recited the Qur'an.' Allah will say, 'You have lied. You acquired knowledge so that people would call you a scholar, and you recited the Qur'an so that people would call you a reciter. In the world, you were called a scholar and a reciter.' Then it will be ordered, and he will be dragged on his face and thrown into Hell.
And there will be a man to whom Allah had given all kinds of wealth. He will be brought before Allah. Allah will make him recognize His blessings, and he will recognize them. Then Allah will ask, 'What did you do for them?' He will say, 'I did not leave any way in which You like wealth to be spent except that I spent in it for Your sake.' Allah will say, 'You are lying. You spent so that people would call you generous, and people called you generous in the world.' Then it will be ordered, and he will be dragged on his face and thrown into Hell."

Great reward for being martyred in Allah’s path.
Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that a man from Banu Nabit (a tribe of the Ansar) came and said: I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and that you (O Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) are His servant and His messenger. Then he advanced and kept fighting until he was killed. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: He did little deeds but attained great reward.
Who fights, then suffers loss or gains booty.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If an army or a detachment fights in jihad, then obtains spoils and returns safely, then two-thirds of its reward in the Hereafter has been given to it in this world. And if an army or a detachment returns empty-handed and suffers loss (i.e., is wounded or killed), then it will receive its full reward in the Hereafter.
Reward for equipping a warrior.
Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: Whoever equips a warrior in the path of Allah has (himself) performed jihad, and whoever looks after the family of a warrior, he too has performed jihad (i.e., he has earned the reward of jihad).
If one gathers equipment for jihad but falls ill, he should give it to someone intending jihad.
Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a young man from the tribe of Aslam said, "O Messenger of Allah! I intend to go for jihad but I do not have the necessary equipment." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Go to so-and-so; he had prepared equipment for jihad but he has fallen ill." He went to that person and said, "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) conveys his greetings to you and says: Give me that equipment." He (the sick man) said (to his wife or slave woman), "O so-and-so! Give him all the equipment and do not keep anything back. By Allah, do not keep anything back, for there will be blessing in it for you."
Sanctity of mujahids’ women and betrayal by those left as guardians.
‘Sayyiduna Sulaiman bin Buraidah narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with him)’: He said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The sanctity of the women of the Mujahideen for those who stay at home is like the sanctity of their own mothers. And whoever stays at home and looks after the family and property of a Mujahid, then betrays in it, he will be made to stand on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said to the Mujahid: Take from his deeds whatever you wish. (Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:) What do you think?
Regarding the Prophet’s saying:“A group of my ummah will always remain upon the truth...”
`Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A group from my Ummah will always remain steadfast on the truth; no one will be able to harm them, until the command of Allah comes (i.e., the Day of Judgment) and they will be in that state (i.e., dominant and upon the truth).
Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Shumasah Mahri says: I was sitting with Muslamah bin Makhlad and with him was Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As (may Allah be pleased with him). Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Hour will not be established except upon the worst of creatures, and they will be worse than those of the Age of Ignorance. Whatever they pray to Allah for, Allah will grant them. They were in this state when Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) came, so Muslamah said to him: O Uqbah! Did you hear what Abdullah is saying? Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He knows better than me, but I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: A group or a party from my Ummah will always fight upon the command of Allah, and will prevail over their enemy. Whoever opposes them will not be able to harm them, until the Hour comes and they are in that state. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Indeed (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said so). Then Allah will send a wind which will have the fragrance of musk and will touch the body like silk. It will not leave anyone whose heart has even a grain's weight of faith, except that it will cause him to die. After that, only the worst (disbelieving) people will remain, and upon them the Hour will be established.
The conqueror of Persia, Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The people of the West (i.e., the Arabs or the people of Syria) will always remain dominant upon the truth, until the Day of Resurrection is established.
