حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ أَخْبَرَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَبِي حَسَّانَ
أَنَّ عَلِيًّا كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْأَمْرِ، فَيُؤْتَى فَيُقَالُ: قَدْ فَعَلْنَا كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَيَقُولُ: صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ الْأَشْتَرُ: إِنَّ هَذَا الَّذِي تَقُولُ قَدْ تَفَشَّغَ فِي النَّاسِ، أَفَشَيْءٌ عَهِدَهُ إِلَيْكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: مَا عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا خَاصَّةً دُونَ النَّاسِ، إِلَّا شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ، فَهُوَ فِي صَحِيفَةٍ فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفِي، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَزَالُوا بِهِ حَتَّى أَخْرَجَ الصَّحِيفَةَ، قَالَ: فَإِذَا فِيهَا: مَنْ أَحْدَثَ حَدَثًا، أَوْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا، فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ، لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَرْفٌ وَلَا عَدْلٌ، قَالَ: وَإِذَا فِيهَا: إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ، وَإِنِّي أُحَرِّمُ الْمَدِينَةَ، حَرَامٌ مَا بَيْنَ حَرَّتَيْهَا وَحِمَاهَا كُلُّهُ، لَا يُخْتَلَى خَلَاهَا، وَلَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا، وَلَا تُلْتَقَطُ لُقَطَتُهَا، إِلَّا لِمَنْ أَشَادَ بِهَا، وَلَا تُقْطَعُ مِنْهَا شَجَرَةٌ إِلَّا أَنْ يَعْلِفَ رَجُلٌ بَعِيرَهُ، وَلَا يُحْمَلُ فِيهَا السِّلَاحُ لِقِتَالٍ، قَالَ: وَإِذَا فِيهَا: الْمُؤْمِنُونَ تَتَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ، وَيَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ، وَهُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ، أَلَا لَا يُقْتَلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ، وَلَا ذُو عَهْدٍ فِي عَهْدِهِ

✧ Ali would give a command, and it would be brought to him and he would be told: 'We have done such and such.' He would say: 'God and His Messenger have spoken truly.' He said: Al-Ashtar said to him: 'This thing you say has spread among the people. Is it something the Messenger of God ﷺ entrusted to you?' Ali said: 'The Messenger of God ﷺ did not entrust anything to me specifically apart from the people, except something I heard from him, and it is in a document in the sheath of my sword.' He said: They kept at him until he brought out the document. He said: And in it was: 'Whoever commits a crime or shelters a criminal, upon him is the curse of God, the angels, and all people. Neither ransom nor compensation will be accepted from him.' He said: And in it was: 'Abraham made Makkah sacred, and I make Madinah sacred: everything between its two lava tracts and its entire sanctuary is inviolable. Its grass is not to be cut, its game not to be startled, its lost property not to be picked up except by one who announces it, and no tree is to be cut from it except for a man to feed his camel, and no weapon is to be carried in it for fighting.' He said: And in it was: 'The believers' blood is equal, the lowest of them may grant their protection, and they are one hand against others. Verily, no believer is to be killed for a disbeliever, nor one in covenant while in his covenant.'
