Bayhaqi 16479 — Muslims who kill a Muslim by mistake while fighting

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ، قَالَ: وَأَمَّا أَبُو حُذَيْفَةَ فَاخْتَلَفَ عَلَيْهِ أَسْيَافُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَلَا يَعْرِفُونَهُ، فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: أَبِي أَبِي، فَقَالُوا: وَاللهِ إِنْ عَرَفْنَاهُ وَصَدَقُوا، فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لَكُمْ، وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ، فَأَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَنْ يَدِيَهُ فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ حُذَيْفَةُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَزَادَهُ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
Sayyiduna Mahmud bin Labid (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The swords of the Muslims came upon Sayyiduna Abu Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) from different sides, and he was martyred at the hands of the Muslims themselves, while they did not recognise him. Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) kept crying out: "My father! My father!" They said: "By Allah, we did not recognise him," and they spoke the truth. Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "May Allah forgive you, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wished to pay his blood money from himself, but Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) gave it as charity to the Muslims, and that raised him further in the sight of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
