حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، وَيُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنِ الأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ

قَالَ ذَهَبْتُ لأَنْصُرَ 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».

فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا الْقَاتِلُ فَمَا بَالُ الْمَقْتُولِ قَالَ: «إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَرِيصًا عَلَى قَتْلِ صَاحِبِهِ»

While I was going to help this man (Ali Ibn Abi Talib), Abu Bakra met me and asked, “Where are you going?” I replied, “I am going to help that person.” He said, “Go back for I have heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saying, ‘When two Muslims fight (meet) each other with their swords, both the murderer as well as the murdered will go to the Hell-fire.’

I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! It is all right for the murderer but what about the murdered one?’ the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) replied, ‘He surely had the intention to kill his companion.’”

আহনাফ ইবনু কায়স (রহ.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি (সিফফীনের যুদ্ধে) এ ব্যক্তিকে [আলী (রাযি.)-কে] সাহায্য করতে যাচিছলাম। আবূ বাকরাহ্ (রাযি.)-এর সঙ্গে আমার দেখা হলে তিনি বললেনঃ ‘তুমি কোথায় যাচ্ছ?’

আমি বললাম, ‘আমি এ ব্যক্তিকে সাহায্য করতে যাচ্ছি।’ তিনি বললেনঃ ‘ফিরে যাও। কারণ আমি আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -কে বলতে শুনেছি যে, দু’জন মুসলিম তাদের তরবারি নিয়ে মুখোমুখি হলে হত্যাকারী এবং নিহত ব্যক্তি উভয়ে জাহান্নামে যাবে।’

আমি বললাম, ‘হে আল্লাহর রাসূল্! এ হত্যাকারী (তো অপরাধী), কিন্তু নিহত ব্যক্তির কী অপরাধ? তিনি বললেন, (নিশ্চয়ই) সেও তার সাথীকে হত্যা করার জন্য উদগ্রীব ছিল।’ (৬৮৭৫, ৭০৮৩; মুসলিম ৫২/৪ হাঃ ২৮৮৮, আহমাদ ২০৪৪৬)

ہم سے بیان کیا عبدالرحمٰن بن مبارک نے، کہا ہم سے بیان کیا حماد بن زید نے، کہا ہم سے بیان کیا ایوب اور یونس نے، انہوں نے حسن سے، انہوں نے احنف بن قیس سے، کہا کہ میں اس شخص ( علی رضی اللہ عنہ ) کی مدد کرنے کو چلا۔ راستے میں مجھ کو ابوبکرہ ملے۔

پوچھا کہاں جاتے ہو؟ میں نے کہا، اس شخص ( علی رضی اللہ عنہ ) کی مدد کرنے کو جاتا ہوں۔ ابوبکرہ نے کہا اپنے گھر کو لوٹ جاؤ۔ میں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے سنا ہے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم فرماتے تھے جب دو مسلمان اپنی اپنی تلواریں لے کر بھڑ جائیں تو قاتل اور مقتول دونوں دوزخی ہیں۔

میں نے عرض کیا یا رسول اللہ! قاتل تو خیر ( ضرور دوزخی ہونا چاہیے ) مقتول کیوں؟ فرمایا ”وہ بھی اپنے ساتھی کو مار ڈالنے کی حرص رکھتا تھا۔“ ( موقع پاتا تو وہ اسے ضرور قتل کر دیتا دل کے عزم صمیم پر وہ دوزخی ہوا ) ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdurrahman bin Al Mubarak] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hammad bin Zaid] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ayyub] dan [Yunus] dari [Al Hasan] dari [Al Ahnaf bin Qais] berkata; aku datang untuk menolong seseorang kemudian bertemu [Abu Bakrah], maka dia bertanya: "Kamu mau kemana?"

Aku jawab: "hendak menolong seseorang" dia berkata: "Kembalilah, karena aku pernah mendengar Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Jika dua orang muslim saling bertemu (untuk berkelahi) dengan menghunus pedang masing-masing, maka yang terbunuh dan membunuh masuk neraka".

aku pun bertanya: "Wahai Rasulullah, ini bagi yang membunuh, tapi bagaimana dengan yang terbunuh?" Maka Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menjawab: "Dia juga sebelumnya sangat ingin untuk membunuh temannya

Ahnef b. Kays'tan rivayet edildiğine göre o şöyle demiştir: Şu adama (Hz. Ali'ye) yardım etme niyeti İle çıktım. Ebu Bekre ile karşılaştım. Bana: "Nereye gidiyorsun?"

diye sordu. "Şu adam'a yardım etmeye gidiyorum" dedim. O: "Geri dön. Çünkü ben Allah Resulü'nün şöyle dediğini duydum: ''iki Müslüman kılıç kılıca karşılaştıklarında öldüren de öldürülen de ateştedir. Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem)'e sordum: ''Öldüreni anladım da ya şu öldürülen niçin ateştedir ey Allah'ın elçisi ?''

Allah Resulü şöyle buyurdu: "Çünkü o da arkadaşını öldürmek istiyordu. Tekrar: 6875, 7083 Diğer tahric: Müslim, fiten ve işratu’s-sa’a

Sahih al-Bukhari 31, Book 2, Belief, Hadith 24. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that if two Muslims fight each other with their swords, with each one intending to kill the other, the killer will be in Hellfire for the actual killing of his companion; but the Companions were confused regarding the killed one and why he would be in Hellfire! The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) explained that he, too, would be in Hellfire because of his keenness to kill his companion and that nothing prevented him except that his companion managed to kill him first.

What it teaches

  • He who intends to commit a sin and engages in the means leading to it deserves the punishment.
  • The Hadīth gives a stern warning regarding Muslims fighting one another and threatens them with Hellfire for that.
  • Fighting among Muslims for a valid reason does not fall under this warning, such as fighting against aggressors and corrupters.
  • The perpetrator of a major sin is not regarded as a disbeliever for its mere commission, as the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) named those fighting each other as Muslims.
  • If two Muslims fight each other with any means of killing and one of them kills the other, both the killer and the killed one will be in Hellfire. The sword is mentioned in the Hadīth as an example.
