4087. It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "A man came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, what do you think if someone comes to steal my wealth?' He said: 'Urge him by Allâh.' He said: 'What if he persists?' He said: 'Urge him by Allâh.' He said: 'What if he persists?' He said: 'Urge him by Allâh.' He said: 'What if he persists?' He said: 'Then fight. If you are killed you will be in Paradise, and if you kill him, he will be in the Fire.'" (Sahîh)

4082 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قُهَيْدٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ عُدِيَ عَلَى مَالِي، قَالَ: «فَانْشُدْ بِاللَّهِ». قَالَ: فَإِنْ أَبَوْا عَلَيَّ؟ قَالَ: «فَانْشُدْ بِاللَّهِ». قَالَ: فَإِنْ أَبَوْا عَلَيَّ؟ قَالَ: «فَانْشُدْ بِاللَّهِ». قَالَ: فَإِنْ أَبَوْا عَلَيَّ؟ قَالَ: «فَقَاتِلْ، فَإِنْ قُتِلْتَ فَفِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنْ قَتَلْتَ فَفِي النَّارِ»

Commentary

'He will enter the Fire': The purpose is that if defending oneself, and not intending to kill, no indemnity shall have to be paid for such killing.
