حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، وَيُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنِ الأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ ذَهَبْتُ لأَنْصُرَ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ، فَلَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرَةَ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ قُلْتُ أَنْصُرُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ‏.‏ قَالَ ارْجِعْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ إِذَا الْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا فَالْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا الْقَاتِلُ فَمَا بَالُ الْمَقْتُولِ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَرِيصًا عَلَى قَتْلِ صَاحِبِهِ ‏"‏‏.‏

He said, "Go back for I have heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, 'When two Muslims fight (meet) each other with their swords, both the murderer as well as the murdered will go to the Hell-fire.' I said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! It is all right for the murderer but what about the murdered one?' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "He surely had the intention to kill his companion

Al-Ahnaf bin Qais bataate hain: "Main is shaks (Ali رضی اللہ عنہ) ki madad ke liye ja raha tha ke Abu Bakra (رضی اللہ عنہ) mile aur pucha: 'Kahan ja rahe ho?' Maine kaha: 'Us shaks ki madad ke liye.' Unhone kaha: 'Wapas chale jao, kyunke maine Allah ke Rasool (ﷺ) ko farmate suna hai: Jab do Musalman apni talwaron se ek dusre se ladein, to qatil aur maqtool dono Jahannam mein jayenge.' Maine pucha: 'Ya Rasoolallah, qatil to samajh mein aata hai, magar maqtool kyun?' Aap ne farmaya: 'Kyunke uski bhi niyyat apne sathi ko qatl karne ki thi.'"
