أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْخَلِيلُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي قَتَادَةُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
إِذَا الْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا فَقَتَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ فَالْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ
