'Ali was asked whether Messenger of Allah ﷺ had showed special favour (by disclosing to him) a thing (which he kept secret from others). Thereupon he said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ singled us not for (disclosing to us) anything (secret) which he did not make public, (but those few things) which lie in the sheath of my sword. He drew out the written document contained in it and on that (it was mentioned): Allah cursed him who sacrificed for anyone else besides Allah; and Allah cursed him who stole the signposts (demarcating the boundary lines of the) land; and Allah cursed him who cursed his father; and Allah cursed him who accommodated an innovator (in religion).  

سُئِلَ عَلِيٌّ أَخَصَّكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِشَىْءٍ فَقَالَ مَا خَصَّنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِشَىْءٍ لَمْ يَعُمَّ بِهِ النَّاسَ كَافَّةً إِلاَّ مَا كَانَ فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفِي هَذَا قَالَ فَأَخْرَجَ صَحِيفَةً مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهَا لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ سَرَقَ مَنَارَ الأَرْضِ وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَهُ وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا  

Ali ؓ was asked: “Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say anything to you exclusively; He said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not say anything to us exclusively that he did not say to all the people, except what is in the sheath of this sword of mine. He took out a document on which was written ʿMay Allah curse the one who offers a sacrifice to anyone other than Allah; may Allah curse the one who steals the boundary markers; may Allah curse the one who curses his father; may Allah curse the one who gives refuge to an offender.ʿ  

سُئِلَ عَلِيٌّ هَلْ خَصَّكُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِشَيْءٍ؟ فَقَالَ مَا خَصَّنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَعُمَّ بِهِ النَّاسَ كَافَّةً إِلا مَا كَانَ فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفِي هَذَا قَالَ فَأَخْرَجَ صَحِيفَةً فِيهَا مَكْتُوبٌ لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللهِلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ سَرَقَ مَنَارَ الْأَرْضِ وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَهُ وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا  

‘Ali was asked: Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ tell you anything that was only for you? He said. He did not tell us anything that was only for us without telling all other people, except that which is in the sheath of this sword of mine. He brought out a document on which it was written: ʿMay Allah curse the one who slaughters in the name of something other than Allah, may Allah curse the one who steals the boundary markers, may Allah curse the one who curses his father and may Allah curse the one who gives refuge to an offender.”  

سُئِلَ عَلِيٌّ هَلْ خَصَّكُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِشَيْءٍ؟ فَقَالَ مَا خَصَّنَارَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَعُمَّ بِهِ النَّاسَ كَافَّةً إِلا مَا كَانَ فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفِي هَذَا قَالَ فَأَخْرَجَ صَحِيفَةً مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهَا لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللهِ وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ سَرَقَ مَنَارَ الْأَرْضِ وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَهُ وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا

سُئِلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخَصَّكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِشَيْءٍ؟ قَالَ مَا خَصَّنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يُعَمِّمْ بِهِ النَّاسَ كَافَّةً إِلَّا مَا كَانَ فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفِي هَذَا فَأَخْرَجَ صَحِيفَةً مَكْتُوبَةً «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ سَرَقَ مَنَارَ الْأَرْضِ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَيْهِ لَعَنَ اللَّهِ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا»
