7300. Narrated Ibrāhīm At-Taimī's father: 'Ali رضي الله عنه addressed us while he was standing on a brick pulpit and carrying a sword from which was hanging a scroll. He said, "By Allāh, we have no book to read except Allāh's Book (the Qur'ān) and whatever is (written) on this scroll." And then he unrolled it, and behold, in it was written what sort of camels were to be given as blood-money, and there was also written in it: "Al-Madīna is a sanctuary from 'Aīr (mountain) to such and such place, so whosoever innovates in it an heresy or commits a sin therein, he will incur the Curse of Allāh, the angels, and all the people, and Allāh will not accept his compulsory or optional good deeds." There was also written in it: "The asylum (pledge of protection) granted by any Muslim is one and the same, (even a Muslim of the lowest status) is to be secured and respected by all the other Muslims, and whoever betrays a Muslim in this respect (by violating the pledge) will incur the Curse of Allāh, the angels, and all the people, and Allāh will not accept his compulsory or optional good deeds." There was also written in it: "Whoever (freed slave) takes as masters other than his real masters (manumitters) without their permission will incur the Curse of Allāh, the angels, and all the people, and Allāh will not accept his compulsory or optional good deeds.” [See Vol.3, Hadīth No. 1870]
