Those who said: A Muslim is not killed for a disbeliever

Sayyiduna Abu Juhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Do you people have any hadith or the like from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) besides the Qur'an?" At this he said: "No! By the One who brought the seed into being and created every living thing, except for whatever understanding of the Qur'an Allah has given to a man, and whatever is in this scroll." The narrator said: I said: "What is in this scroll?" He said: "The rulings of blood money, the freeing of the captive, and that no Muslim is to be killed in retaliation for a disbeliever."
