The Shaykh : And likewise, we request an answer to the second doubt, which is that Ali is among those promised Paradise and Mu'awiyah is among the great Companions, so how did they fight each other with their swords, while the hadith says Mishkat al-Masabih 3538, and many of the Companions fought each other with their swords. We say to this one who inspired this whisper with this doubt:
You have brought the hadith in the manner of the atheist who warns Muslims in the name of their Qur'an about prayer, saying, "Your Lord says:." We say to him, complete the verse: [Al-Ma'un 107:5], and the verse turns into an argument against him. He argues with it that there is no prayer, , but the completion of the verse turns into an argument against him, as is clear. Those who are heedless of the prayer that is obligatory for them to perform at its times and with humility in it, woe to those who are heedless of their prayer. Similarly, this one who brought the hadith Sahih Muslim 2888b, how can he say so when the hadith says Mishkat al-Masabih 3538? We say to him, complete the hadith. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is the killer, but what about the killed?" He said, "He intended to kill his companion, Sahih al-Bukhari 6875." So the killer and the killed are not in the Fire in an absolute sense, but rather that each of them intended to kill his companion. Here is another clarification that the people of knowledge understand, and certainly not the people of deviation and atheism, which is Sahih Muslim 2888b, because each of them was eager to kill his companion. Why? Was it in the path of the truth that he believes in, or in the path of falsehood?
We have truth and we have falsehood, whereas the others have nothing called truth and falsehood; rather, they have interest and they have material, and everything is for the sake of material, and so on. So we say that these two fighters who were described in the hadith as each being eager to kill his companion, the intention of each of them is looked at. If it was for the sake of this world, then that is the intent of the hadith. But if it was in the path of truth and its victory, but they differed in their independent legal reasoning, then at that time the hadith applies.
The questioner : Say... and two groups.
Another questioner: And if two groups.
The questioner : Fought each other, then make peace between them. But if one of them transgresses against the other, then fight the one that transgresses until it returns to the command of Allah...
Al-Id Abbas: The transgressor and the non-transgressor, because they met with their swords.
When two Muslims meet with their swords, the one who kills and the one who is killed will go to hell.
إذا تقاتل المسلمان بسيفهما فالقاتل والمقتول في النارYou have brought the hadith in the manner of the atheist who warns Muslims in the name of their Qur'an about prayer, saying, "Your Lord says:
Woe to those who pray
فويلٌ للمصلين[But] who are heedless of their prayer -
المصلين الذين هم عن صلاتهم ساهونWoe to those who pray
ويلٌ للمصلينboth the slayer and the slain are doomed to Hell-Fire
القاتل والمقتول في النارWhen two Muslims meet with their swords, the one who kills and the one who is killed will go to hell.
إذا تقاتل المسلمان بسيفهما فالقاتل والمقتول في النارThe killed one was eager to kill his opponent.
إنه كان حريصا على قتل صاحبهboth the slayer and the slain are doomed to Hell-Fire
القاتل والمقتول في النارWe have truth and we have falsehood, whereas the others have nothing called truth and falsehood; rather, they have interest and they have material, and everything is for the sake of material, and so on. So we say that these two fighters who were described in the hadith as each being eager to kill his companion, the intention of each of them is looked at. If it was for the sake of this world, then that is the intent of the hadith. But if it was in the path of truth and its victory, but they differed in their independent legal reasoning, then at that time the hadith
If the ruling jurist exercises independent legal reasoning and is correct, he has two rewards, and if he errs, he has one reward
إذا اجتهد المجتهد الحاكم فأصاب فله أجران وإن أخطأ فله أجر واحدThe questioner : Say... and two groups.
Another questioner: And if two groups.
The questioner : Fought each other, then make peace between them. But if one of them transgresses against the other, then fight the one that transgresses until it returns to the command of Allah...
Al-Id Abbas: The transgressor and the non-transgressor, because they met with their swords.
