What is the meaning of this Hadith and what is its authenticity: "No raiding party that raids in the cause of Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, and acquires war booty, except that they have expedited two-thirds of their reward from the Hereafter. And if they do not acquire war booty, their reward is complete for them"?
The hadith was narrated by Muslim, and the words of Imam An-Nawawi regarding its meaning have been mentioned in Fatwa No. 115436, and the words of Imam Ibn Daqeeq Al-Eid in Fatwa No. 140654. Both are sufficient in explaining the hadith and clarifying its meaning.
