English translation

4749. It was narrated that Abî Hassân said: "Alî said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ did not tell me anything that he did not tell the people, except what is in a sheet in the sheath of my sword.' They did not leave him alone until he brought out the sheet, and in it (were the words): 'The lives of the believers are equal in value, and they hasten to support the asylum granted by the least of them, and they are one against others. But no believer may be killed in return for a disbeliever, nor one with a covenant while his covenant is in effect.' (Sahih)

٤٧٤٥ - أَخْبَرَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌هَمَّامٌ ، عَنْ ‌قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي حَسَّانَ قَالَ: قَالَ ‌عَلِيٌّ : «مَا عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ دُونَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا فِي صَحِيفَةٍ فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفِي - فَلَمْ يَزَالُوا بِهِ حَتَّى أَخْرَجَ الصَّحِيفَةَ، فَإِذَا فِيهَا: الْمُؤْمِنُونَ تَكَافَؤُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ، يَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ، وَهُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ، لَا يُقْتَلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ، وَلَا ذُو عَهْدٍ فِي عَهْدِهِ».
