English translation

[5126] 45 - (...) It was narrated that Abū Aṭ-Ṭufail said: “Alī (bin Abī Ṭālib) was asked: ‘Did the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ tell you anything that was for you only?' He said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ did not tell us anything that was for us only, that he did not tell all the people, except that which is in this sheath of my sword.' He took out a document on which it was written: 'May Allâh curse the one who offers a sacrifice to anything other than Allâh, may Allâh curse the one who steals the boundary markers, may Allâh curse the one who curses his parents, and may Allâh curse the one who gives refuge to a Muhdith.'

Arabic text

45 - (1978) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ أَبِي بَزَّةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ عَلِيٌّ، أَخَصَّكُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ؟ فَقَالَ: مَا خَصَّنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَعُمَّ بِهِ النَّاسَ كَافَّةً، إِلَّا مَا كَانَ فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفِي هَذَا، قَالَ: فَأَخْرَجَ صَحِيفَةً مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهَا: «لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللهِ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ سَرَقَ مَنَارَ الْأَرْضِ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَهُ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا»

[1] Muhdith and it may be read: Muhdath, the first is more popular as it appears in our text, and it refers to one who aids or harbors the criminal. The meaning of Muhdath is the innovated thing itself, for which “giving refuge” would mean accepting and abiding by it. See Minnat Al-Mun'im.
