"عن قَيْسِ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَلِىٍّ يَوْمَ الْجَمَلِ فَقُلْتُ: هَل عَهِدَ إِلَيْكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَهْدًا دُونَ الْعَامَةِ؟ قال: لَا! إِلَّا هَذَا وَأَخْرَجَ مِنْ قُرَابِ سَيْفِهِ صَحِيفَةً فَإِذَا فِيهَا المُؤْمِنُونَ تَتَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ تَسْعَى بَيْنَ أَيْدِيِهمْ وَهُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ، لَا يُقْتَلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ، وَلَا ذُو عَهْدٍ فِي عَهْدِهِ".

"From Qays ibn 'Abbad, he said: I entered upon Ali on the day of the Camel and said: \"Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entrust you with a covenant not shared with the general public?\" He said: \"No, except this.\" And he took out a sheet from the sheath of his sword, and in it was: \"The believers' blood is equal, the lowest among them may give protection on their behalf, and they are a single hand against others. A believer is not to be killed for a disbeliever, nor a person under a covenant during the term of his covenant.\""
