Arabic hadith text

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لِجَهَنَّمَ سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ: بَابٌ مِنْهَا لِمَنْ سَلَّ السَّيْفَ عَلَى أُمَّتِي أَوْ قَالَ: عَلَى أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ". رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ

Translation

Ibn Umar reported from the Prophet that he said: ‘Hell has seven gates; one of them is for whoever draws a sword against my community’—or he said, ‘against the community of Muhammad.’ Al-Tirmidhi transmitted it and said: ‘This is a rare report.’

Translation notes
  • The source gives two alternative wordings for whose community the sword is drawn against.
