حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّازُ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا يَجْتَمِعُ فِي النَّارِ كَافِرٌ وَقَاتِلُهُ أَبَدًا " .

Brief Explanation
1؎: That is, his committing this killing will become an expiation (kaffarah) for his sins and he will be saved from punishment, and even if he is punished, it will be a punishment other than Hellfire—for example, he may be detained in al-A‘raf, or he may be deprived of entering Paradise at the very first instance.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Jihad becomes an expiation for all the sins of the mujahid.
And in this way, he becomes deserving of Paradise.
Except if there are any rights of the servants (huquq al-‘ibad) upon him.
If these are not forgiven and there is any punishment, then it will be without the Fire.
For example, he may be detained in places like al-A‘raf, etc.
(Nawawi) And Allah knows best.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Urdu marginal note:
That is, the believer and the disbeliever, the dust of jihad and the fire of Hell, faith (iman) and envy (hasad) are mutually contradictory things. And contradictory things can neither coexist in this world nor in the Hereafter. This is an absolute principle.

Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: These two surahs are unparalleled in the sense that from beginning to end—that is, from the first to the last—they are entirely supplications for refuge (ta'awwudh) in Allah from every kind of evil, whether it pertains to the outward or the inward. Refuge is sought, and Allah, in these surahs, has placed immense effectiveness for protection from evils. In this way, they serve as a strong fortress (hisn haseen) for remaining safe from every kind of evil, and despite their brevity, both are extremely comprehensive, sufficient, and complete in their content.
