6875. Narrated Al-Ahṇaf bin Qais: I went to help that man (i.e., 'Alī), and on the way I met Abū Bakra who asked me, "Where are you going?" I replied, "I am going to help that man." He said, "Go back, for I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying, 'If two Muslims meet each other with their swords, then (both) the killer and the killed one are in the (Hell) Fire.' I said, 'O Allāh's Messenger! It is alright for the killer, but what about the killed one?' He said, 'The killed one was eager to kill his opponent.'"

Arabic text

6875 - 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» قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَذَا القَاتِلُ، فَمَا بَالُ المَقْتُولِ؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَرِيصًا عَلَى قَتْلِ صَاحِبِهِ»
