Explanation of the hadith: Allah does not accept any deed except what is done pure…

A man came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) to ask him and seek his Fatwa about the ruling on a man who goes out for battle and Jihad seeking reward from Allah and desiring praise and commendation from people, as to whether he will receive a reward? The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) answered him that he will have no reward because he associates others with Allah in his intention. The man repeated his question to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) three times, and he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) responded to him and confirmed the same answer - that he will have no reward. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed him about the rule governing the acceptance of deeds by Allah: Allah does not accept any deeds unless they are purely devoted to Allah, without associating others with Him, and for His sake, Exalted be He.

Lessons: Allah does not accept any deed except what is done pure…

Allah does not accept deeds unless they are purely done for Allah's sake and in compliance with the guidance of His Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
One aspect of a good answer by a Mufti is that his Fatwa should fulfill the questioner's need and more.
An emphasis can be placed on an important matter by repeating the question.
A true fighter of Jihad is one who strives to make the word of Allah supreme, seeking reward and recompense in the Hereafter with sincere intention; his Jihad should not be for the sake of worldly life.
