31. Narrated Al-Ahṇaf bin Qais: While I was going to help this man (‘Alī bin Abī Tālib رضي الله عنه, Abū Bakrah رضي الله عنه met me and asked, “Where are you going?” I replied, “I am going to help that person.” He said, “Go back for I have heard Allāh’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 Allāh’s Messenger! It is alright for the murderer but what about the murdered one?’ Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ replied, ‘He surely had the intention to kill his companion’.”

31 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ المُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، وَيُونُسُ، عَنِ الحَسَنِ، عَنِ الأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: ذَهَبْتُ لِأَنْصُرَ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ، فَلَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرَةَ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ؟ قُلْتُ: أَنْصُرُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ، قَالَ: ارْجِعْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِذَا التَقَى المُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا فَالقَاتِلُ وَالمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ»، فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا القَاتِلُ فَمَا بَالُ المَقْتُولِ قَالَ: «إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَرِيصًا عَلَى قَتْلِ صَاحِبِهِ»
