English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) and said: "O Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) ! One man fights for booty, another fights to win fame, and the third fights for show off.'' Another narration is: "One fights for displaying his valour, another fights out of his family pride.'' Another narration is: "One fights out of rage.'' He asked: "Which of them is fighting in the Cause of Allah?'' The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "The one who fights so that Word of Allah (Islam) be exalted, is the one who fights in the Cause of Allah.'' [Al-Bukhari Hadith # 2810].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah At-Taubah Ayat 38. "Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter?" We learn from this Hadith that one who fights for any worldly interest is not a Mujahid. Only he is a Mujahid who fights for the religion of Allah and to win His Pleasure alone.
