أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ وَيُونُسَ وَالْعَلاَءِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

إِذَا الْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا فَقَتَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ فَالْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ
