Hadith 3047

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُطَرِّفٌ أَنَّ عَامِرًا حَدَّثَهُمْ ، عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : لِعَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْوَحْيِ إِلَّا مَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : وَالَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَبَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ مَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا فَهْمًا يُعْطِيهِ اللَّهُ رَجُلًا فِي الْقُرْآنِ ، وَمَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ ، قُلْتُ : وَمَا فِي الصَّحِيفَةِ ؟ قَالَ : الْعَقْلُ وَفَكَاكُ الْأَسِيرِ ، وأن لا يقتل مسلم بكافر .
Narrated Abu Juhaifa: I asked `Ali, "Do you have the knowledge of any Divine Inspiration besides what is in Allah's Book?" `Ali replied, "No, by Him Who splits the grain of corn and creates the soul. I don't think we have such knowledge, but we have the ability of understanding which Allah may endow a person with, so that he may understand the Qur'an, and we have what is written in this paper as well." I asked, "What is written in this paper?" He replied, "(The regulations of) blood-money, the freeing of captives, and the judgment that no Muslim should be killed for killing an infidel."
