Note 3
(3) The statement: "There is no reward for him": Because he did not fight for Allah. However, if he fought for Allah and intended to obtain spoils, there is no doubt he has a reward, though his reward is less than that of one who fought for Allah without intending spoils. As stated in (Al-Mirqat).
Note 3
(٣) قوله: لا أجر له: إذ لم يغز للّه، وأما إذا غزا للّه، وقصد حصول الغنيمة فلا شك أن له الأجر، نعم، أجره أنقص من أجر من غزا للّهِ ولم يقصد الغنيمة. كذا في (المرقاة).
