Q&A: How does expressing desire to oneself to participate in a Ghazwa occur?

[Translated] Question To our dear noble Scholar Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah, Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu The Prophet (saw) said: «مَنْ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَغْزُ، وَلَمْ يُحَدِّثْ بِهِ نَفْسَهُ، مَاتَ عَلَى شُعْبَةٍ مِنْ نِفَاقٍ» "The one who died but did not participate in a Ghazwa nor did he express any desire to himself about it died upon a branch of hypocrisy."  So how does expressing desire to oneself about participating in a Ghazwa occur?

Excerpts from the Prison Memoirs with the Ameer of Hizb ut Tahrir, Sheikh Ata bin Khalil Abu al-Rashtah

Al-Waie Magazine received some of the memoirs of the respected brother, Salim al-Amr. We are publishing some of them, for in them is a lesson and benefit, insha'Allah, for those who take heed. We extend our recognition and appreciation to Brother Salim for these poignant and expressive memoirs, and we ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى to grant what came in their end, and that He keeps him safe from all evil.
