Al-Halabi : The questioner:The questioner : He says, and if part of the answer has already been given, he says: Sunan an-Nasa'i 4115Sahih (Darussalam) to the end of the hadith. We ask for a commentary on the benefits it contains, especially regarding the issue under discussion?
The Shaykh : There is no room now to speak at length. As I mentioned to you earlier, Islam combats tribalism in all its forms and commands Muslims that when they fight, they should fight in the cause of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, as stated in the noble verses. There is also the hadith of Abu Musa, which explicitly denies that one who fights out of tribalism, bravery, or the like is fighting in the cause of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Therefore, correcting the intention in fighting is a very great matter, as stated in some reports: "There is a slain man between the two ranks whose intention is best known to Allah."
