أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَی عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا تَوَاجَهَ الْمُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا فَقَتَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ فَهُمَا فِي النَّارِ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا الْقَاتِلُ فَمَا بَالُ الْمَقْتُولِ قَالَ أَرَادَ قَتْلَ صَاحِبِهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4133
It was narrated from Abu Musa that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “If two Muslims confront each other with swords, and one kills the other, they will both be in Hell.” It was said: “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, (we understand about) the killer, but what about the one who is killed?” He said: “He wanted to kill his companion.” (Sahih).
