أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَسَّانَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ

رضى الله عنه أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْمُؤْمِنُونَ تَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ يَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ لَا يُقْتَلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ وَلَا ذُو عَهْدٍ فِي عَهْدِهِ»

Allah be please with him that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “The lives of the believers are equal in value, and they are one against others, and they hasten to support the asylum granted by the least of them. But no believer may be killed in return for a disbeliever, nor one with a covenant while his covenant is in effect.”

আবু বকর ইবন আলী (রহঃ) ... আলী (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত যে, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ মুসলিমদের রক্ত সমমর্যাদাসম্পন্ন, অমুসলিমদের ব্যাপারে তারা একটি হাতের ন্যায়। তাদের পক্ষ হতে একজন সাধারণ মুসলিমও কাউকে আশ্রয়দানের পদক্ষেপ গ্রহণ করতে পারে (যা রক্ষা করা) সকলের জন্য বাধ্যতামূলক হবে। জেনে রাখ, কোন মুসলিমকে কোন কাফিরের পরিবর্তে হত্যা করা যাবে না, আর মুসিলম রাষ্ট্রের সাথে যে প্রতিশ্রুতিবদ্ধ, তাকেও তার প্রতিশ্রুতিতে বিদ্যমান থাকা অবস্থায় হত্যা করা যাবে না।

Telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Abu Bakar bin Ali] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Qawariri] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Abdul Wahid] telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Amru bin 'Amir] dari [Qatadah] dari [Abu Hassan] dari [Ali radliallahu 'anhu] bahwa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Orang-orang mukmin darah mereka sederajat, dan mereka adalah satu tangan atas orang selain mereka, orang yang paling rendah diantara mereka berjalan dengan jaminan keamanan dari mereka, ketahuilah tidaklah orang yang mukmin dibunuh lantaran orang kafir, dan tidak pula dibunuh orang yang memiliki perjanjian selama dalam perjanjiannya

What it means

This Hadīth indicates that some of the Tābi‘īn asked ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) a question similar to that asked by Abu Juhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) on another occasion.

He asked if the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) had given ‘Ali any exclusive knowledge different from the Qur’an? ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) answered in the negative, affirming that he had nothing but a sheet on which were some rulings which ‘Ali had written from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).

These included the ruling that the lives of all Muslims are equal, such that a Muslim would be killed for killing any Muslim. However, a Muslim would not be killed for killing a disbeliever, for a disbeliever is not equal to a Muslim in the inviolability of their blood. Also, the covenant of any Muslim is to be respected, whether it is given by a junior or a senior person, by a man or a woman.

So if a Muslim gives a covenant of protection to someone, even if the person who is to be protected is a disbeliever, the covenant must be honored. It is not permissible to kill anyone who enters the lands of Islam under a covenant, for his life has been protected by virtue of this covenant. Anyone who does an evil deed or hides or shelters the perpetrator incurs the curse of Allah, the Angels, and all people. This means that he shall be dismissed from the mercy of Allah, the Exalted.
