[7252] 14 - (2888) It was narrated that Al-Ahṇaf bin Qais said: "I went out looking for this man, and I was met by Abū Bakrah who said: 'Where are you going, O Ahṇaf?' I said: 'I want to support the cousin of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ,' meaning 'Alī. He said to me: 'O Ahṇaf, go back, for I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "When two Muslims confront one another with their swords, the slayer and the slain will both be in the Fire." I said: – or it was said: – "O Messenger of Allāh, (we understand about) the slayer, but what about the slain?" He said: "He wanted to kill his companion."

14 - (2888) حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كَامِلٍ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، وَيُونُسَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ فَلَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرَةَ، فَقَالَ: أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ يَا أَحْنَفُ؟، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أُرِيدُ نَصْرَ ابْنِ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَعْنِي عَلِيًّا - قَالَ: فَقَالَ لِي: يَا أَحْنَفُ ارْجِعْ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِذَا تَوَاجَهَ الْمُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا، فَالْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ: أَوْ قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا الْقَاتِلُ، فَمَا بَالُ الْمَقْتُولِ؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّهُ قَدْ أَرَادَ قَتْلَ صَاحِبِهِ»
