Sahih al-Bukhari 6659 (Book 87, Hadith 53)
once said, “Apart from what the people have?” `Ali said, “By Him Who made the grain split
(germinate) and created the soul, we have nothing except what is in the Qur’an and the ability (gift) of
understanding Allah’s Book which He may endow a man, with and what is written in this sheet of
paper.” I asked, “What is on this paper?” He replied, “The legal regulations of Diya (Blood-money)
and the (ransom for) releasing of the captives, and the judgment that no Muslim should be killed in
Qisas (equality in punishment) for killing a Kafir (disbeliever).
