2683. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbâs that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The blood of the Muslims is equal, they are one hand against others. The asylum offered by the lowest of them in status applies to them (all), and the return is granted to the farthest of them.”[1] (Sahih)
2683 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الصَّنْعَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْمُسْلِمُونَ تَتَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ، يَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ، وَيُرَدُّ عَلَى أَقْصَاهُمْ»

a. “The blood of Muslims is equal.” It means the killing in retaliation and blood money is equal for all Muslims. In this matter there is no difference at all between tribes, poor or rich, noble or common man, young or adult, all are equal in this regard, and the punishment is the same for everyone. b. If the lowest of the Muslims in status gives asylum to a non-Muslim it applies to all Muslims. In other words, he is under the protection of all Muslims. c. Whatever the quantity of booty a warrior collects, small or large, he cannot keep it in his custody. He must submit it to the leader of the army. He can claim only his share from the whole. He is bound to follow the principles of the spoils of war.
