The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Muslims are equal in respect of blood. The lowest of them is entitled to give protection on behalf of them, and the one residing far away may give protection on behalf of them. They are like one hand over against all those who are outside the community. Those who have quick mounts should return to those who have slow mounts, and those who got out along with a detachment (should return) to those who are stationed. A believer shall not be killed for an unbeliever, nor a confederate within the term of confederation with him. Ibn Ishaq did not mention retaliation and equality in respect of blood.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمُسْلِمُونَ تَتَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ يَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ وَيُجِيرُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَقْصَاهُمْ وَهُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ يَرُدُّ مُشِدُّهُمْ عَلَى مُضْعِفِهِمْ وَمُتَسَرِّعُهُمْ عَلَى قَاعِدِهِمْ لاَ يُقْتَلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ وَلاَ ذُو عَهْدٍ فِي عَهْدِهِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقَوَدَ وَالتَّكَافُؤَ

"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."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ تَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ يَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ لاَ يُقْتَلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ وَلاَ ذُو عَهْدٍ فِي عَهْدِهِ

"Ali said: 'The Messenger of Allah did not tell me anything that he did not tell the people, except what is in a sheet in the sheath of my word.' They did not leave him alone until he brought out the sheet, and in it (were the words): 'The lives of the believers are equal in value, and they hasten to support the asylum granted by the least of them, and they are one against others. But no believer may be killed in return for a disbeliever, nor one with a covenant while his covenant is in effect."

عَلِيٌّ مَا عَهِدَ إِلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِشَىْءٍ دُونَ النَّاسِ إِلاَّ فِي صَحِيفَةٍ فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفِي فَلَمْ يَزَالُوا بِهِ حَتَّى أَخْرَجَ الصَّحِيفَةَ فَإِذَا فِيهَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ تَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ يَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ وَهُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ لاَ يُقْتَلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ وَلاَ ذُو عَهْدٍ فِي عَهْدِهِ

“The blood of every Muslims is equal, they are one hand against others. The asylum offered by the lowest of them in status applies to them (all), and the return is granted to the farthest of them.”

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ تَتَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ يَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ وَيُرَدُّ عَلَى أَقْصَاهُمْ

ʿThe believers are equal in respect of blood and they are one against their enemies; protection given even by the least among them is to be honoured, but no believer is to be killed (in retaliation) for a disbeliever and no one who has a covenant is to be killed during the covenant.ʿ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ تَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ يَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ أَلا لَا يُقْتَلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ وَلا ذُو عَهْدٍ فِي عَهْدِهِ

[AI] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered Makkah during the year of the conquest, he stood among the people and delivered a sermon, saying: "O people, certainly in the times of ignorance, there were oaths, but Islam has only intensified them. In Islam, there are no oaths. Muslims are united against anyone other than them, their blood is equal and they protect one another. Their farthest member is protected by their support. They return their armies to their settlements. A believer cannot be killed in retaliation for an unbeliever. The blood money for an unbeliever is half that of a Muslim. There is no bringing nor banishing. Their charities are only taken within their homes."

لَمَّا دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَكَّةَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ قَامَ فِي النَّاسِ خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ مَا كَانَ مِنْ حِلْفٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَإِنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ لَمْ يَزِدْهُ إِلَّا شِدَّةً وَلَا حِلْفَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ تَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ يُجِيرُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ أَقْصَاهُمْ تُرَدُّ سَرَايَاهُمْ عَلَى قَعَدِهِمْ لَا يُقْتَلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ دِيَةُ الْكَافِرِ نِصْفُ دِيَةِ الْمُسْلِمِ لَا جَلَبَ وَلَا جَنَبَ وَلَا تُؤْخَذُ صَدَقَاتُهُمْ إِلَّا فِي دِيَارِهِمْ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Muslims protect each other, their blood is equal, and a believer is not killed for an unbeliever, nor is a person with a covenant killed within their covenant."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْمُسْلِمُونَ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ تَتَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ لَا يُقْتَلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ وَلَا ذُو عَهْدٍ فِي عَهْدِهِ»

ʿThe believers are equal in respect of blood and they are one against their enemies; protection given even by the least among them is to be honoured, but no believer is to be killed (in retaliation) for a disbeliever and no one who has a covenant is to be killed during the covenant.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 991)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْمُؤْمِنُونَ تَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ يَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ لَا يُقْتَلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ وَلَا ذُو عَهْدٍ فِي عَهْدِهِ»

But no believer may be killed in return for a disbeliever, nor one with a covenant while his covenant is in effect." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4745)

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ مَا عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا دُونَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا فِي صَحِيفَةٍ فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفِي فَلَمْ يَزَالُوا حَتَّى أَخْرَجَ الصَّحِيفَةَ فَإِذَا فِيهَا «الْمُؤْمِنُونَ تَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ يَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ وَهُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ لَا يُقْتَلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ وَلَا ذُو عَهْدٍ فِي عَهْدِهِ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon during the Year of the Conquest and said, "O people, indeed there were oaths taken in the times of ignorance (pre-Islamic era), and the strength of Islam has only increased them. There are no oaths in Islam. The Muslims have a hand over those who are not among them, their lowest rank is their responsibility, and their highest rank is their defense. Their armies will retaliate against them, while they stay in their forts. The rest of the hadith was mentioned."

خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ مَا كَانَ مِنْ حِلْفٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَإِنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ لَمْ يَزِدْهُ إِلَّا شِدَّةً وَلَا حِلْفَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ يَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ أَقْصَاهُمْ تُرَدُّ سَرَايَاهُمْ عَلَى قَعَدَتِهِمْ وَذَكَرَ بَاقِيَ الْحَدِيثِ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to the people during the year of the conquest, saying, "O people, there is no oath in the pre-Islamic era that increases in importance or value in Islam. And in Islam, there is no oath except that Muslims have the upper hand over others and strive to fulfill their promises to the best of their ability. The Muslims respond to their enemies in the farthest reaches, while their forces respond to them in their own territories. A believer should not be killed for a disbeliever, as the blood money for a disbeliever is only half the blood money for a believer. There is no consanguinity or affinity, and their charities are not to be taken except in their own dwellings. This is a saying attributed to Yunus bin Bukayr."

خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ مَا كَانَ مِنْ حِلْفٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَإِنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ لَمْ يَزِدْهُ إِلَّا شِدَّةً وَلَا حِلْفَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ يَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ أَقْصَاهُمْ تُرَدُّ سَرَايَاهُمْ عَلَى قَعَدَتِهِمْ لَا يُقْتَلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ دِيَةُ الْكَافِرِ نِصْفُ دِيَةِ الْمُؤْمِنِ لَا جَلَبَ وَلَا جَنَبَ وَلَا تُؤْخَذُ صَدَقَاتُهُمْ إِلَّا فِي دُورِهِمْ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ يُونُسَ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ

ʿThe believers are equal in respect of blood and they are one against their enemies; protection given even by the least among them is to be honoured, but no believer is to be killed (in retaliation) for a disbeliever and no one who has a covenant is to be killed during the covenant.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 991)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُقْتَلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ وَلَا ذُو عَهْدٍ فِي عَهْدِهِ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ تَتَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ

"المسلمون يدٌ على مَنْ سواهم تتكافأُ دماؤُهم ويسعى بذمتهم أَدْنَاهُم، ولا يُقْتَلُ مسلمٌ بكافِر ولَا ذُو عَهْدٍ في عَهْدِهِ".

"المسلمون تتكافأُ دماؤهم وهم يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِواهُم يَسْعَى بِذمَّتِهمْ أَدَناهُم، وَيرُدُّ عليهم أَقْصاهُم".

"المسلمون تتكافأُ دِماؤهم، ويسعى بذمتهم أَدناهُم، ويُجيرُ عليهم أقصاهم، وهم يدٌ على من سواهم، يرد مُشِدهم عَلَى مُضْعفهم، ومُسْرِعهم على قاعدِهِم، لا يُقْتَلُ مُؤمِنٌ بكافِرٍ، ولا ذُو عهد في عَهْدِهِ".

"لا يُقْتَلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ، وَلا ذُو عَهْدٍ فِي عَهْدِهِ، والْمُسْلِمُونَ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِواهُمْ، تَتكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ".

"يَا أيُّهَا النَّاسُ! إِنَهُ مَا كَانَ مِنْ حِلْفٍ فِى الجَاهليَّة فَإنَّ الإِسْلامَ لَمْ يزِدْهُ إِلاَّ شِدّةً، وَلا حِلفَ في الإِسْلاَمِ، وَالمُسْلمونَ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ، تَكافَأ دمَاؤُهُمْ، يُجيرُ عَلَيْهِمْ أدْنَاهُمْ، وَيرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ أَقْصَاهُمْ، يَرُدُّ سَرَايَاهُم عَلَى قَعدِتهِمْ (*)، لا يُقْتلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ، دِيَةُ الكافِرِ نِصْفُ دِيَةِ المسلِم، لا خَبَبَ وَلاَ جَنبَ، وَلاَ تُؤْخَذُ صَدَقَاتُهُمْ إِلا فِى دِيَارِهِمْ".
