111. Narrated Ash-Sha'bi: Abū Juhaifa said, "I asked 'Ali, 'Have you got any book (which has been revealed to the Prophet ﷺ) apart from the Qur'ān)? 'Alī replied, 'No, except Allāh's Book or the power of understanding which has been bestowed (by Allāh) upon a Muslim, or what is (written) in this sheet of paper (with me).' Abū Juhaifa said, "I asked, 'What is (written) in this sheet of paper?' 'Alī replied, 'It deals with Diya [compensation (blood money) paid by the killer to the relatives of the victim in case of man slaughter only], the ransom for the releasing of the captives from the hands of the enemies, and the law that no Muslim should be killed in Qisas (equality in punishment) for the killing of (a disbeliever).'"

111 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ: هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ كِتَابٌ؟ قَالَ: " لاَ، إِلَّا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ، أَوْ فَهْمٌ أُعْطِيَهُ رَجُلٌ مُسْلِمٌ، أَوْ مَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فَمَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ؟ قَالَ: العَقْلُ، وَفَكَاكُ الأَسِيرِ، وَلاَ يُقْتَلُ مُسْلِمٌ بِكَافِرٍ "
