I was in the company of 'Ali b. Abi Talib, when a person came to him, and said: What was it that Allah's Apostle ﷺ told you in secret? Thereupon he (liadrat 'All) was enraged and said: Allah's Apostle ﷺ did not tell me anything in secret that he hid from people, except that he told me four things. He said: Com- mader of Faithful, what are these? He said: Allah cursed him who cursed his father; Allah cursed him who sacrificed for anyone besides Allah; and Allah cursed him who accommodates an innovator (in religion) ; and Allah cursed him who changed the minarets (the boundary lines) of the land.

مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُسِرُّ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ وَقَالَ مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُسِرُّ إِلَىَّ شَيْئًا يَكْتُمُهُ النَّاسَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ حَدَّثَنِي بِكَلِمَاتٍ أَرْبَعٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ مَا هُنَّ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ قَالَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَهُ وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ غَيَّرَ مَنَارَ الأَرْضِ

(Using translation from Muslim 1978a)

مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُسِرُّ إِلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ وَقَالَ مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُسِرُّ إِلِيَّ شَيْئًا كَتَمَهُ النَّاسَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي بِكَلِمَاتٍ أَرْبَعٍ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ مَا هُنَّ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ قَالَ لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَهُ لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللهِ لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ غَيَّرَ مَنَارَ الْأَرْضِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْخُسْرَوْجِرْدِيِّ

"عن أبى الطُّفَيْلِ قال: كنتُ عندَ علىِّ بنِ أَبِى طالب فَأَتَاهُ رجلٌ فقال: مَا كَانَ النَّبىُّ ﷺ يُسِرُ إليكَ؟ فَغَضبَ وقالَ: ما كان النبىُّ ﷺ يُسِر إليَّ شيئًا يكتمُهُ الناسَ غير أنهُ قد حدثنى بكلمات أربع، قال: ما هُنَّ يا أميرَ المؤمنينَ؟ قالَ: قالَ: لعنَ الله مَن لَعَنَ والديه، ولعن الله من ذبحَ لغير الله، ولعن الله من أوى مُحدثًا، ولعن الله من غيَّرَ مَنَارَ الأرضِ. وفى لفظ: من سَرَقَ منار الأرض".
