Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنِ الأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِذَا تَوَاجَهَ الْمُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا فَقَتَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ فَالْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا الْقَاتِلُ فَمَا بَالُ الْمَقْتُولِ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُ أَرَادَ قَتْلَ صَاحِبِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Ahmad ibn Fadalah reported to us: ʿAbd al-Razzaq narrated to us: Maʿmar informed us, from Ayyub, from al-Hasan, from al-Ahnaf ibn Qays, from Abu Bakrah, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘When two Muslims confront one another with their swords and one kills his companion, the killer and the one killed are both in the Fire.’ They said: ‘Messenger of Allah, this is the killer; what about the one killed?’ He said: ‘He intended to kill his companion.’
