English translation
1412. Abū Juhaifah said: "I said to 'Alī: O Commander of the Believers! Do you have anything written that is not in Allāh's Book?" He said: 'By the One Who splits the seed and creates the soul, I have not learned from it except what understanding of the Qur'ān Allāh gives to a man, and what is in this sheet of paper.' I said: 'What is in the paper?' He said: 'In it is the 'Aql,[2] the (ransom for release of captives, and the judgement that no believer is killed for a disbeliever.”’ (Sahīh) [He said:] There is something on this topic from ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr. [Abū ‘Eisā said:] The Hadīth of ‘Alī is a Ḥasan Sahīh Hadīth. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. It is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Mālik bin Anas, Ash-Shāfi‘ī, Aḥmad, and Ishāq. They said that the believer is not killed for the disbeliever. Some of the people of knowledge said that the Muslim may be killed for the Mu‘āhid. But the first view is more correct.
