Military campaign and jihad

Ja'far al-Sadiq interprets campaigning and jihad through goodness, benefit, reviving the Sunnah, victory over an enemy, recovery for the sick, a just ruler, and spoils.

Ibn Sirin says striving in God's path signifies uprightness for the dreamer and household, expanded provision, and increased wealth; turning away from it signifies reduced compassion toward one's family. Fighting alone and prevailing signifies defeating the enemy, lawful provision, honor, and spoils.
