"عَنْ أَبى حَسَّان: أَنَّ عَلِيّا كَان يَأمُرُ بِالأمْرِ وَيُقالُ قد فَعَلْنَا كذَا كَذَا، فَيَقُولُ: صَدَقَ الله وَرَسُولُهُ، فَقيلَ لَهُ: أَشْئٌ عَهِدَهُ إِلَيْكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ فَقَالَ: مَا عَهِدَ إِلَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شيئًا خَاصَّة دُونَ النَّاسِ إلَّا شَيْئًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ في صَحِيفَة فِى قرَاب سَيْفِى، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِهِ حَتَّى أَخْرَجَ الصَّحِيفة، فَإِذا فيهَا: مَنْ أَحْدَثَ حَدثًا أَوْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ والْمَلاَئكةِ والنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ، لاَ يَقْبَلُ الله مِنهُ صَرْفًا ولاَ عَدْلًا، وَإذَا فِيهَا: إنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ وَإنِّى أُحَرَمُ الْمَدِينَةَ مَا بَيْنَ حَرَّتَيْهَا وَحِمَاهَا، لاَ يُخْتَلَى خَلاَها وَلاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُها، ولا يُلتَقَطُ لُقَطَتُهَا إِلَّا لِمَنْ أَشَادَ بِهَا وَلاَ يُقْطَعُ شَجَرُهَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَعْلِفَ رَجُلٌ بَعِيرًا، وَلاَ يُحْمَل فِيهَا السِّلاَحُ لِقِتَالٍ، وَإِذَا فيها: الْمُؤْمِنونَ تَتَكَافَأُ دِماؤهم وَيَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُم، وَهُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهم، أَلاَ لاَ يُقْتَل مُؤْمِنٌ بِكافِرٍ، وَلاَ ذُو عَهْدٍ في عَهْدِهِ".

“Abu Hassan said: Ali used to order a matter, and it would be said: ‘We have done such and such,’ and he would say: ‘Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth.’ It was said to him: ‘Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entrust you with something?’ He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not entrust me with anything specifically apart from the people, except something I heard from him in a sheet in the sheath of my sword.’ He said: He kept at him until he brought out the sheet, and in it was: ‘Whoever introduces an innovation or shelters an innovator, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels and all people. Allah will not accept from him any repentance or ransom.’ And in it: ‘Indeed Ibrahim made Makkah sacred, and I make Medina sacred between its two lava plains (harrah) and its protected zone. Its grass is not to be cut, its game is not to be frightened, its lost property is not to be picked up except by one who announces it, its trees are not to be cut except for a man to feed a camel, and weapons are not to be carried in it for fighting.’ And in it: ‘The believers’ blood is equal, and the least of them may extend protection on their behalf, and they are one hand against whoever else. Ah, a believer is not to be killed for a disbeliever, nor one who has a covenant during his covenant.’”
