Hadith 40
40 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، ثنا مُطَرِّفُ بْنُ طَرِيفٍ سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ يَقُولُ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو جُحَيْفَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ: " هَلْ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْءٌ سِوَي الْقُرْآنِ؟ فَقَالَ: لَا وَالَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَبَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ إِلَّا أَنْ يُعْطِيَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا فَهْمًا فِي كِتَابِهِ، أَوْ مَا فِي الصَّحِيفَةِ قُلْتُ: وَمَا فِي الصَّحِيفَةِ؟ قَالَ: الْعَقْلُ، وَفِكَاكُ الْأَسِيرِ، وَأَنْ لَا يُقْتَلَ مُسْلِمٌ بِكَافِرٍ "
Abu Hujayfah narrates: I asked Sayyiduna Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him): Do you have anything besides the Qur’an that you received from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: No, by Him who split the grain and created the soul, (we have nothing like that) except for what Allah grants understanding of to any of His servants regarding His Book, or what is contained in this scroll. I asked: What is in this scroll? Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: (It contains rulings) about blood money, about freeing captives, and (the ruling) that no Muslim will be killed in retaliation for a disbeliever.
