Combining the hadith "The killer and the killed are in the Fire" with the testimony of the Companions to Paradise

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: The killer and the killed are (doomed) to fire.صلى الله عليه وسلم القاتل والمقتول في النار،
Sahih Muslim 1680b
, even though the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) testified to many of the Companions who were involved in the Battle of al-Jamal that they would enter Paradise.

Answer:
This is a general statement that includes the people of al-Jamal; it includes the people of al-Jamal. And we told you that the war that took place at the incident of al-Jamal was not by the choice of the two groups, but rather those who stirred up the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), who killed 'Uthman, were the ones who incited the fighting at al-Jamal without the choice of the two groups or the consent of the two groups. So the sin is upon them, may Allah protect us from that. Yes, and Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
