حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَيُّوبُ ،
وَيُونُسُ ، عَنْ
الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ
الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، قَالَ : ذَهَبْتُ لِأَنْصُرَ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ ، فَلَقِيَنِي
أَبُو بَكْرَةَ ، فَقَالَ : أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ ؟ قُلْتُ : أَنْصُرُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ ، قَالَ : ارْجِعْ ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِذَا الْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا ، فَالْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، هَذَا الْقَاتِلُ فَمَا بَالُ الْمَقْتُولِ ، قَالَ : إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَرِيصًا عَلَى قَتْلِ صَاحِبِهِ " .
Narrated Al-Ahnaf bin Qais: I went to help that man (i.e., `Ali), and on the way I met Abu Bakra who asked me, "Where are you going?" I replied, "I am going to help that man." He said, "Go back, for I heard Allah's Apostle 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 Allah's Apostle! It is alright for the killer, but what about the killed one?' He said, 'The killed one was eager to kill his opponent."
