3964. It was narrated from Abu Musa that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "When two Muslims confront one another with their swords, both the killer and the slain will be in Hell." They said: "O Messenger of Allâh, (we understand about) this killer, but what is wrong with the one who is slain?" He said: "He wanted to kill his companion." (Sahih)
3964 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا الْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا، فَالْقَاتِلُ، وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ» ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا الْقَاتِلُ، فَمَا بَالُ الْمَقْتُولِ؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّهُ أَرَادَ قَتْلَ صَاحِبِهِ»

If one had spent all his efforts to commit a crime, but was not able to do it for some reason, such a person is also considered guilty by Allâh. Whoever decides to commit a sin but gives it up before committing it, his sin is forgiven, and due to repentance he deserves good reward.
