Hadith 3172

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا عَلِيٌّ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا عِنْدَنَا كِتَابٌ نَقْرَؤُهُ إِلَّا كِتَابَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَمَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ ، فَقَالَ : فِيهَا الْجِرَاحَاتُ وَأَسْنَانُ الْإِبِلِ وَالْمَدِينَةُ حَرَمٌ مَا بَيْنَ عَيْرٍ إِلَى كَذَا فَمَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِيهَا حَدَثًا ، أَوْ آوَى فِيهَا مُحْدِثًا فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَرْفٌ ، وَلَا عَدْلٌ وَمَنْ تَوَلَّى غَيْرَ مَوَالِيهِ فَعَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ وَذِمَّةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَاحِدَةٌ فَمَنْ أَخْفَرَ مُسْلِمًا فَعَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ .
Narrated Ibrahim at-Tamimi's father: `Ali delivered a sermon saying, "We have no book to read except the Book of Allah and what is written in this paper which contains verdicts regarding (retaliation for) wounds, the ages of the camels (given as Zakat or as blood money) and the fact that Medina is a sanctuary in between Air mountain to so-and-so (mountain). So, whoever innovates in it an heresy or commits a sin or gives shelter in it, to such an innovator will incur the Curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship will be accepted. And whoever (freed slave) takes as his master (i.e. befriends) other than his real masters will incur the same (Curse). And the asylum granted by any Muslim is to be secured by all the other Muslims, and whoever betrays a Muslim in this respect will incur the same (Curse).

Maulana Dawood Raz
Hadith Commentary:
It is evident that Ali (radi Allahu anhu) also recited this very current Qur’an; the matter of some surahs being placed earlier or later is a separate issue.
Now, whoever thinks that Ali (radi Allahu anhu) or other members of the Ahl al-Bayt possessed some other Qur’an which was complete, and that the current Qur’an is deficient—upon such a person is the curse and wrath of Allah, the angels, and all the noble prophets (alayhim as-salam).

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:

The meaning is that whoever grants protection to someone, his guarantee of safety is considered as the guarantee of all Muslims.
Whether the one granting protection is of high or low status, free or slave, man or woman, no one has the right to revoke the protection that has been granted.
The mention of a woman granting protection has already appeared in the first hadith.
The protection granted by a slave has also been deemed permissible by the majority of scholars, whether or not he participates in battle.
There is consensus among the majority regarding a child that his granting of protection is not valid.
Similarly, the protection granted by an insane person or a disbeliever is also impermissible.
(Fath al-Bari: 6/329)


From this hadith, it is also understood that Ali (radi Allahu anhu) also had the same prevalent Qur’an.
The stance of some people is incorrect that Ali (radi Allahu anhu) or other members of Ahl al-Bayt possessed a complete (different) Qur’an.
