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

Collected by Nasāʾī, Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Mājah, Aḥmad, Ṭabarānī, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, Bayhaqī, Suyūṭī"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
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 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
“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.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2683)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ وَهُوَ مُسْنِدٌ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ تَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَيَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْوَهُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ
[Machine] 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)

"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".
