I heard ʿ Ali ؓ say: We do not have any book that we read to you except what is in the Qurʿan and what is in this document - a document that was in the sheath of a sword that he was wearing, which had an adornment of iron. - I took it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and in it are the rates of zakah.  

أحمد:٨٧٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ مُخَارِقٍ عَنْ طَارِقٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ شِهَابٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ مَا عِنْدَنَا كِتَابٌ نَقْرَؤُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلا مَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَمَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ صَحِيفَةٌ كَانَتْ فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفٍ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ حِلْيَتُهُحَدِيدٌ أَخَذْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهَا فَرَائِضُ الصَّدَقَةِ

I saw ‘Ali ؓ on the minbar, delivering a speech, wearing a sword that had an adornment of iron, and l heard him say: By Allah, we do not have any book that we recite to you except the Book of Allah, may He be exalted, and this document that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave to me. In it are the rates of zakah. He said: [This was] a document that was attached to his sword.

رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَخْطُبُ وَعَلَيْهِ سَيْفٌ حِلْيَتُهُ حَدِيدٌ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ وَاللهِ مَا عِنْدَنَا كِتَابٌ نَقْرَؤُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلا كِتَابَ اللهِ تَعَالَى وَهَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةَ أَعْطَانِيهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهَا فَرَائِضُ الصَّدَقَةِ قَالَ لِصَحِيفَةٍ مُعَلَّقَةٍ بِسَيْفِهِ
