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  

We said to 'Ali b. Abi Talib: Inform us about something which Messenger of Allah ﷺ told you in secret, whereupon he said: He told me nothing in secret which he bid from people, but I heard him say: Allah cursed him who sacrificed for anyone besides Allah; and cursed him who accommodated an innovator; and Allah cursed him who cursed his parents and Allah cursed him who changed the boundary lines (of the land possessed by him).  

أَخْبِرْنَا بِشَىْءٍ أَسَرَّهُ إِلَيْكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا أَسَرَّ إِلَىَّ شَيْئًا كَتَمَهُ النَّاسَ وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَيْهِ وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ غَيَّرَ الْمَنَارَ  

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  

We said to ʿAli: Tell us of something that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ told you in secret. He said: He did not tell me anything in secret that he concealed from the people, but I heard him say: ʿMay Allah curse the one who slaughters in the name of something other than Allah, may Allah curse the one who gives refuge to an offender, may Allah curse the one who curses his parents and may Allah curse the one who changes the boundary markers.”  

أَخْبِرْنَا بِشَيْءٍ أَسَرَّهُ إِلَيْكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا أَسَرَّ إِلَيَّ شَيْئًا كَتَمَهُ النَّاسَ وَلَكِنْ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللهِ وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَيْهِ وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ غَيَّرَ تُخُومَ الْأَرْضِ يَعْنِي الْمَنَارَ  

"A man asked 'Ali" Did the Messenger of Allah used to tell you anything in secret that he did not tell the people?' Ali got so angry that his face turned red, and he said: 'He used not to tell me anything in secret that he di8d not tell the people except that he told me four things when he and I were alone in the house. He said: Allah curses the alone who curses his father, Allah curses the one who offers a sacrifice to anyone other than Allah, Allah curse the one who gives refuge to an offender and Allah curses the one who changes boundary markers."" (Sahih ) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4422)  

سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلِيًّا هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُسِرُّ إِلَيْكَ شَيْئًا دُونَ النَّاسِ؟ فَغَضِبَ عَلِيٌّ حَتَّى احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ وَقَالَ مَا كَانَ يُسِرُّ إِلَيَّ شَيْئًا دُونَ النَّاسِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي بِأَرْبَعِ كَلِمَاتٍ وَأَنَا وَهُوَ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ «لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَهُ وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللهِ وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ غَيَّرَ مَنَارَ الْأَرْضِ»

(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".
