English translation
3172. Narrated Ibrāhīm At-Taimī's father: 'Alī delivered a Khutba (religious talk) saying, "We have no book to read except the Book of Allāh and what is written in this paper which contains verdicts regarding (retaliation for) wounds, the ages of the camels (given as Zakāt or as blood money) and the fact that Al-Madīna is a sanctuary in between ‘Air mountain to so-and-so (mountain). So, whoever innovates in it an heresy or commits a sin or gives shelter in it to such an innovator, will incur the Curse of Allāh, the angels and all the people, and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds (of worship) will be accepted. And whoever (freed slave) takes as his master other than his real masters will incur the same (curse). And the asylum granted by any Muslim is to be respected by all the other Muslims, and whoever betrays a Muslim in this respect will incur the same (curse).”
