Qays ibn ‘Abbād reported: Al-Ashtar and I went to ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: "Has the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) given you anything exclusive that he did not give to the people in general?" He said: "No, except what is in this document of mine." Mūsaddad said: "He then took out a document." Ahmad said: "A document from the sheath of his sword." It stipulated that "the lives of all Muslims are equal; they are one hand against the others.

The covenant (given by even the) lowliest of them must be respected. Behold, a Muslim must not be killed for a disbeliever, nor must one who has been given a covenant be killed while his covenant is still in force. If anyone introduces an evil, he will be responsible for it. Whoever introduces an evil deed or shelters a perpetrator incurs the curse of Allah, His Angels, and all the people."

Source textOriginal Arabic
عن قيس بن عباد، قال: انطلقت أنا والأشتر، إلى علي رضي الله عنه فقلنا: هل عَهِدَ إليك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم شيئًا لم يَعْهَدْهُ إلى الناس عامة؟ قال: لا، إلا ما في كتابي هذا، قال مسدد: قال: فأخرج كتابًا، وقال أحمد: كتابا من قِرَابِ سيفه، فإذا فيه «المؤمنون تَكَافَأُ دماؤهم، وهم يد على من سِوَاهم، ويسعى بذِّمَّتِهِم أدناهم، ألا لا يُقتل مؤمن بكافر، ولا ذُو عَهْد في عهده، من أحدث حَدَثَاً فعلى نفسه، ومن أحدث حدثا، أو آوى مُحْدِثاً فعليه لعنة الله والملائكة والناس أجمعين».
