Chapter 37 · Trials and Fierce Battles (Kitab Al-Fitan Wa Al-Malahim)فِي النَّهْىِ عَنِ الْقِتَالِ، فِي الْفِتْنَةِ
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، وَيُونُسَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ يَعْنِي فِي الْقِتَالِ، فَلَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرَةَ، فَقَالَ: ارْجِعْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: إِذَا تَوَاجَهَ الْمُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا، فَالْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا الْقَاتِلُ فَمَا بَالُ الْمَقْتُولِ ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّهُ أَرَادَ قَتْلَ صَاحِبِهِ .

The Prohibition From Fighting During The Tribulation
I came out with the intention of (participating in) fighting. Abu Bakrah رضی اللہ عنہ met me and said: Go back, for I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: When two Muslims face each other with their swords, the killer and the slain will go to Hell. He asked: Messenger of Allah, this is the killer (so naturally he should go to Hell), but what is the matter with the slain ? He replied: He intended to kill his companion.
