حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : مَا كَتَبْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا الْقُرْآنَ وَمَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْمَدِينَةُ حَرَامٌ مَا بَيْنَ عَائِرَ إِلَى ثَوْرٍ ، فَمَنْ أَحْدَثَ حَدَثًا أَوْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ عَدْلٌ وَلَا صَرْفٌ ، وَذِمَّةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَاحِدَةٌ يَسْعَى بِهَا أَدْنَاهُمْ ، فَمَنْ أَخْفَرَ مُسْلِمًا فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ عَدْلٌ وَلَا صَرْفٌ ، وَمَنْ وَالَى قَوْمًا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ مَوَالِيهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ عَدْلٌ وَلَا صَرْفٌ " .
Ali said “We wrote down nothing on the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ but the Quran and what this document contains. ”. He reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying “ Madeenah is sacred from A’ir to Thawr so if anyone produces an innovation (in it) or gives protection to an innovator the curse of Allaah, angels and all men will fall upon him and no repentance or ransom will be accepted from him. The protection granted by Muslim is one (even if) the humblest of them grants it. So if anyone breaks a covenant made by a Muslim the curse of Allaah, angels and all men will fall upon him and no repentance or ransom will be accepted from him. If anyone attributes his manumission to people without the permission of his masters the curse of Allaah, angels and all men will fall upon him and no repentance or ransom will be accepted from him.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ There was no special esoteric knowledge or testament (wasiyyah) with Ali radi Allahu anhu. Nothing was given to him that was hidden from others; whatever he had, he expressed it openly.
➋ Al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, within the mentioned boundaries, is sacred and inviolable in the same way as Makkah al-Mukarramah. Every form of innovation (bid‘ah) is misguidance. Honoring an innovator (bid‘ati) is a great legal injustice in Shari‘ah. The recognition of this act in Madinah al-Munawwarah is even more significant, because it is the source and center of Islam.
➌ In facing the disbelievers, the Muslims are united as one. Even the lowest among them holds the same status as the highest among them.
➍ A freed slave (mawla) cannot sell or change his affiliation of loyalty (wala’) even with permission. This act is forbidden (haram). In the hadith, the mention of “without the permission of his masters” (bighayri idhni mawali-hi) is an incidental restriction, not an exclusionary one.

Explanation:
1:
This explicit statement of Ali radi Allahu anhu is a clear refutation of the claim made by the Rawafid and Shia, who say that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam entrusted Ali radi Allahu anhu with some special instructions related to the secrets and mysteries of the religion and Shariah. For in the authentic hadith, it is explicitly stated that Ali radi Allahu anhu said: (We have nothing except the Book of Allah and this scroll from the Prophet ﷺ).
2:
‘Ayr and Thawr are two mountains:
Thawr is a small mountain behind Mount Uhud.
Whereas ‘Ayr is near Dhul-Hulayfah (Abyar ‘Ali),
and these two mountains are situated to the north and south of Madinah,
while to the east and west of Madinah are two plains of black stones.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has clearly marked and demarcated the boundaries of the Haram of Madinah with mihrab-shaped towers.
May Allah reward them with goodness.
3:
That is, the protection granted by such a person will also be respected.
