أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَلِيٍّ هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ كِتَابٌ قَالَ لاَ، إِلاَّ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ، أَوْ فَهْمٌ أُعْطِيَهُ رَجُلٌ مُسْلِمٌ، أَوْ مَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ. قَالَ قُلْتُ فَمَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ قَالَ الْعَقْلُ، وَفَكَاكُ الأَسِيرِ، وَلاَ يُقْتَلُ مُسْلِمٌ بِكَافِرٍ.
Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked `Ali, 'Have you got any book (which has been revealed to the Prophet (ﷺ) apartfrom the Qur'an)?' `Ali replied, 'No, except Allah's Book or the power of understanding which hasbeen bestowed (by Allah) upon a Muslim or what is (written) in this sheet of paper (with me).' AbuJuhaifa said, "I asked, 'What is (written) in this sheet of paper?' `Ali replied, it deals with The Diyya(compensation (blood money) paid by the killer to the relatives of the victim), the ransom for thereleasing of the captives from the hands of the enemies, and the law that no Muslim should be killedin Qisas (equality in punishment) for the killing of (a disbeliever).
