Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ عَنِ ابْنِ مِكْرَزٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ يُرِيدُ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يَبْتَغِي عَرَضَ الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا أَجْرَ لَهُ فَأَعْظَمَ النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ وَقَالُوا لِلرَّجُلِ عُدْ إِلَى رَسُولِ
اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَعَلَّهُ لَمْ يَفْهَمْ فَعَادَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ يُرِيدُ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يَبْتَغِي عَرَضَ الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا أَجْرَ لَهُ ثُمَّ عَادَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا أَجْرَ لَهُ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Yazid, from Ibn Abi Dhi'b, from al-Qasim ibn 'Abbas, from Bukayr ibn 'Abd Allah ibn al-Ashajj, from Ibn Mikraz — that a man said: "O Messenger of Allah, a man wants to fight jihad in the way of Allah while also seeking worldly gain." the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There is no reward for him." The people found this difficult and told the man: "Go back to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, perhaps he did not understand." So he went back and said: "O Messenger of Allah, a man wants to fight jihad in the way of Allah while seeking worldly gain." the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There is no reward for him." Then he went back a third time, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There is no reward for him."
