أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ طَرِيفٍ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جُحَيْفَةَ يَقُولُ سَأَلْنَا عَلِيًّا فَقُلْنَا هَلْ عِنْدَکُمْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئٌ سِوَی الْقُرْآنِ فَقَالَ لَا وَالَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَبَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ إِلَّا أَنْ يُعْطِيَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَبْدًا فَهْمًا فِي کِتَابِهِ أَوْ مَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ قُلْتُ وَمَا فِي الصَّحِيفَةِ قَالَ فِيهَا الْعَقْلُ وَفِکَاکُ الْأَسِيرِ وَأَنْ لَا يُقْتَلَ مُسْلِمٌ بِکَافِرٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4759
It was narrated that Ash-Sha’bi said: “I heard Abu Juhaifah say: ‘We asked ‘All: “Do you have anything from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم apart from the Qur’an?” He said: “No, by the One who splits the seeds and creates the soul, unless Allah gives a slave understanding of His Book, or except this sheet.” I said: “What is in the sheet?” He said: “In it are (the regulations concerning) blood money and the freeing of captives, and (the rule) that no Muslim should be killed for killing a disbeliever.” (Sahih)
