Qais bin ‘Abad says that once I and Ashtar went to the service of Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him: Is there anything that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) specifically advised you about, which was not included for the general people? He replied: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give me any special advice apart from the people, but whatever I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I wrote it in a scroll and kept it in the sheath of my sword. He took it out, and it was written in it:“The lives of the Muslims are equal among themselves; if even the lowest among them grants protection to someone, his protection will be respected. And the Muslims are like a single hand against others. Beware! No Muslim should be killed in exchange for a disbeliever, and no dhimmi should be killed as long as he is within the period of the treaty and abides by its conditions.”Also, it was written:“Whoever invents a bid‘ah (innovation) or shelters a person of bid‘ah, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) complained to me that her hands had developed calluses from turning the millstone. So we went to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I said: O Messenger of Allah! Fatimah has come to you complaining about the calluses on her hands caused by turning the millstone, and she is requesting a servant from you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not tell you something that is better for you both than a servant?"
