[Machine] Abu Amr Al-Addib informed us that Abu Bakr Al-Isma'ili informed us that Yusuf Al-Qadi narrated from Amr ibn Marzouq who narrated from Zuhair from Mutarif from 'Amir from Abu Juhayfah who said: I said to Ali, "O Commander of the Faithful, do you have any revelation among you?" He said, "No, by the One who split the grain and created the breeze, I only know through understanding that Allah grants to a man. As for what is in the written pages, I asked, 'What is in the written pages?' He said, 'Reasoning and the liberation of a captive. And a believer should not be killed by a polytheist.' Zuhair said, 'So I asked Mutarif, what is the liberation of a captive?' He said, 'To be freed from the enemy.' This is the established practice (Sunnah). And Mutarif said, 'Reasoning is the well-founded intellect.'"
