When Both Fighters Enter Hell: Intention Exposed
Understanding Intention and Action in Islam: The Hadith of Two Fighting Muslims
Summary
This lecture discusses a hadith from Riyadul Saliheen about two Muslims fighting with swords, where both the killer and the one killed are destined for Hell. The speaker, citing Imam al-Nawawi, explains that both are punished because they both came with the intention to kill each other. The lecture delves into the concept of 'niyyah' (intention) in Islamic jurisprudence, emphasizing that intentions must be accompanied by corresponding actions and cannot be completely divorced from behavior. The speaker uses practical examples to illustrate that while intentions belong to Allah, we must judge people based on observable patterns of behavior and actions, not mere claims of good intention.

الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله والصلاه والسلام على رسول الله واشهد ان لا اله الا الله واشهد ان محمدا عبده ورسوله اللهم صل وسلم وبارك على نبينا محمد وعلى اله واصحابه اجمعين اما بعد يقول الحافظ النووي رحمه الله في رياضه في باب احضار النيه والاخلاص وعن ابي بكره نفيع بن الحارث الثقفي رضي الله عنه ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "اذا التقى المسلمان بسيفيهما فالقاتل والمقتول في النار". قلت يا رسول الله هذا القاتل فما بال المقتول؟ قال انه كان حريصا على قتل صاحبه متفق عليه. ابي بكره رضي الله عنه صلى الله عليه وسلم another kill are messenger of Allah we understand the killer being in the fire Why is the victim as well in the fire with him? And so he responded because he was trying to kill his opponent. انه كان حريصا حريصا على قتل صاحبه الحرص حريص الحرص الحرص الحرص لانج هو الطلب الحثيث الطلب الحثيث هذا يسمى حرصا الانسان حريص على العلم يطلبه طلبا حثيثا ويجتهد في طلبه رجل حريص على قتل صاحبه بذل جهده في قتل صاحبه حريص was bestillent الله سبحانه وتالى That's it. Their wills the same. Their intentions were the same. How do we know their intention were the same? Because they both came with deadly weapons to fight one another. That's all we need to know. Nothing beyond that is recognized in a cour in a judgement of this tye of situation. كلمه صاحبه صاحبه الصاحب في لغه العرب يطلق ويراد به من كان يشارك الشخص او يشارك الانسان في شيء ما قد يكون شريكا له في حياته قد يكون شريكا له في سفره قد يكون شريكا له في عداوته يعني يشترك معه في شيء لذلك قد يطلق كلمه الصاحب على العدو مثل هذه الروايه لو كان حريصا على قتل صاحبه مين يقتل صاحبه لا كلمه صاحب في لغتنا الدارجه معناها الصديق لكن كلمه صاحب في لغه العرب في اصل لغه العرب في لغه الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم يطلق ويراد به المشارك المشارك لذلك عين ربنا سبحانه وتعالى في القران قال والصاحب بالجنب صاحب الجنب يعني المشارك للانسان عن جنبه ولذلك اختلفت عبارات المفسرين في تفسير هذه الكلمه قال بعضهم الصاحب بالجنب هو الرفيق في السفر وقيل الصاحب بالجنب هو الزوج او الزوجه وهذا اقرب اقرب لانه اشمل لهذه الايه و يعني انسب لمعاني الايه فهنا يقول والصاحب بالجنب فعين الصاحب الذي هو يكون ملازما مشاركا عن جنب الانسان عن جنب الانسان اذا الصاحب لذلك جاء في حديث ابي هريره المعروف لما كان اييه حارسا يحرس با بيت المال والصدقات فجاء لص في الليل يريد ان يسرق ف زي ما بقولوا عننا زقطوا ابو هريره قال لارفعنك الى رسول الله فقال قال اي رجل ذو عيال وكذا وكذا اشفك علي ف خلى سبيله اخبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في الصبح ثاني ليله رجع وحصلت القصه ثاني يوم في الصبح النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ما فعل صاحبك صاحبي يعرف عرفنا في نهايه الحديث انه هذا مين؟ شيطان. كيف صاحبه؟ صاحبه نعم صاحبه بمعنى مشارك له في هذه القصه صاحب لا يلزم من كلمه صاحب انه فيه ود او لا يلزم من كلمه صاحب الصداقه لا يلزم لذلك هو يقول انه كان حريصا على قتل صاحبه فهذه النيه مع بذل الجهد اوقعه موقع القاتل اوقعه موقع القاتل الذي ينوي الشيء ويجتهد في طلبه ثم يحول دونه ودون مطلوبه ومرامه قدر الله فله ما نوى لك ما اخذت يا يزيد ولك لك ما نويت يا معنى ف هذه لذلك وضع هذه الروايه الحافظ النووي في هذا الباب لان هذه الروايه وامثال هذه الروايه هي من اهم الادله في ابواب النيه.

toan circstantialidirstantialid notally be 100% valid outside of an ecosystem of circumstances and عمر رضي الله عنه famous statement that the intentions are for and weased what they man behavi if they deal with us good we will deal with them in kind if they us poely we will with them accordingly and their intentions are to Allah. However, does this mean that a person can claim their intention is radically radically divorced from their actions completely. No matter how insane it sounds. Of course not. This is ridiculous, right? A person burns your house down and then says, "My intention was, you know, I just we hear in, you know, in this insane world of the disbeliever that we live in right now. Right now, we see the world through the popular opinion, through the popular lens." What is the popular lens? We are seeing the world through the perspective of the disbeliever. right now in popular media whatever it is so you have a woman will go and cheat on her husband say I just wanted your attention it's because I love you so much I love you so much that I want to did this what kind of mental gymnastics does a cowardly kind of man have to do in order to accept this is a valid excuse doesn't make any sense. What does that mean? I to get your att and so I s around but it wasn't I to because I to get your intention I love you so much I just don't know how to get your attention this is one of the most ridiculous absurd insane excuses it's not an excuse right and so what is the point here that we making the point is is that we use outward behaviors and beh and person in that is what was what is the besting fact for a person future if i want to i don't know anybody could be good a bad guy could be good and a good guy could be bad i don't know what a doutory.

That is going to articulate pattern pattern of behavi right background check that's why these things We look into people thisory we see one right if I see a pattern of divorce with someone I understand that is it possible that this woman is divorced five times because she just got a bad apple every single time she got married yeah I guess it's possible kind of how it's possible that you would go to a tree at the top of the tree that is possible right but notable that's not how the work most usually people who don't know each other married this one person it all ended in divorce she seems to be the common denominator or he seems to be the common denominator corre and so on we go so the best determining determinant of future action arrogance how do someone is arrogant isn't arrogance in the heart yes arrogance is in the heart that's where place is right however is there a behavior that could manifest itself that could lead me to the conclusion that this person has arrogance in his hearts yes for instance من اغتال فيته يقول صلى الله عليه وسلم من تكبر في نفسه او اختال في مشيته لقي الله وهو عليه غضبان.
[Silence]
you the one who entiallyed arrogance in we would all kind behavi of arrogance that we would be able to tell this is arrogant person where we learn this from.
