Hadith #530
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّ أَخًا لِأَبِي مُوسَى كَانَ يَتَسَرَّعُ فِي الْفِتْنَةِ فَجَعَلَ يَنْهَاهُ وَلَا يَنْتَهِي فَقَالَ إِنْ كُنْتُ أَرَى أَنَّهُ سَيَكْفِيكَ مِنِّي الْيَسِيرُ أَوْ قَالَ مِنْ الْمَوْعِظَةِ دُونَ مَا أَرَى وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَل
َّمَ قَالَ إِذَا تَوَاجَهَ الْمُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا فَقَتَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا الْآخَرَ فَالْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا الْقَاتِلُ فَمَا بَالُ الْمَقْتُولِ قَالَ إِنَّهُ أَرَادَ قَتْلَ صَاحِبِهِ

English Translation
Ismāʿīl narrated to us, from Yūnus, from al-Ḥasan, that a brother of Abū Mūsā was hasty in getting involved in the fitnah. Abū Mūsā kept forbidding him but he would not desist. So he said: 'I thought that a little would suffice you from me — or he said: from admonition — rather than what I now see. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When two Muslims face each other with their swords and one of them kills the other, then both the killer and the killed are in the Fire.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, this is the killer, but what about the killed?' He said: 'He intended to kill his companion.'
