حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : مَا كَتَبْنَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا الْقُرْآنَ وَمَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْمَدِينَةُ حَرَامٌ مَا بَيْنَ عَائِرٍ إِلَى كَذَا 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 صَرْفٌ وَلَا عَدْلٌ وَمَنْ وَالَى قَوْمًا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ مَوَالِيهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ ، لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَرْفٌ وَلَا عَدْلٌ " .
Narrated `Ali: We did not, write anything from the Prophet except the Qur'an and what is written in this paper, (wherein) the Prophet said, "Medina is a sanctuary from (the mountain of) Air to so and-so, therefore, whoever innovates (in it) an heresy or commits a sin, or gives shelter 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 the asylum granted by any Muslim Is to be secured by all the Muslims even if it is granted by one of the lowest social status among them. And whoever betrays a Muslim in this respect will incur the Curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and his compulsory and optional good deeds of worship will not be accepted. And any freed slave will take as masters (befriends) people other than his own real masters who freed him without taking the permission of the latter, will incur the Curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and his compulsory and optional good deeds of worship will not be accepted."

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.

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.
