Hadith on Jihad: No reward for one who fights for spoils, honor, zeal, or worldly gains

Abu Huraira reported: A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, a man intends to fight for the sake of Allah and he is seeking worldly gains.” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “There is no reward for him.” The people found that very difficult and they said, “Return to the Messenger of Allah, for perhaps he did not understand you.” The man returned and he said, “O Messenger of Allah, a man intends to fight for the sake of Allah and he is seeking worldly gain.” The Messenger of Allah said, “There is no reward for him.” Then he returned a third time and the Messenger of Allah said, “There is no reward for him.”

Hadith on Jihad: Whoever has faith, prays, and fasts will enter Paradise whether he fights in Jihad or not

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, “Whoever believes in Allah and His Messenger, establishes prayer, and fasts the month of Ramadan will have a right upon Allah that he will be entered into Paradise whether he strives in the cause of Allah or remains in the land in which he was born.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, shall we not give the glad tidings to the people?” He said, “Verily, in Paradise are one hundred grades which Allah has reserved for those who strive in His cause; the distance between two grades is like the distance between the heaven and the earth. So when you ask Allah, then ask for Al-Firdaws, for indeed, it is the highest part of Paradise; above it is the Throne of the Merciful and flowing rivers.”
