Hadith 42
۞
5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Talhah ibn Zayd who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that he has read in the book of Ali (a.s.), that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, wrote the following in a letter for al-Muhajirun, al- Ansar and those who join them from the people of Yathrib: ‘Every mobilization that is arranged for an armed confrontation must be continued step by step with legitimacy and justice among the Muslims. It is not permissible to start a war without the permission of the people (who will maintain it). The rights of neighbors are just like one’s soul that must be held harmless and sinless. The respect and honor of a neighbor is like the honor and respect of a mother and father. A believing person does not make peace just for himself, ignoring the other believer during a war for the cause of Allah, except on the basis of justice and equality.’”
5- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنْ أَبِيهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قَرَأْتُ فِي كِتَابٍ لِعَلِيٍّ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) كَتَبَ كِتَاباً بَيْنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالأنْصَارِ وَمَنْ لَحِقَ بِهِمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ يَثْرِبَ أَنَّ كُلَّ غَازِيَةٍ غَزَتْ بِمَا يُعَقِّبُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضاً بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالْقِسْطِ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَإِنَّهُ لا يَجُوزُ حَرْبٌ إِلا بِإِذْنِ أَهْلِهَا وَإِنَّ الْجَارَ كَالنَّفْسِ غَيْرَ مُضَارٍّ وَلا آثِمٍ وَحُرْمَةَ الْجَارِ عَلَى الْجَارِ كَحُرْمَةِ أُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ لا يُسَالِمُ مُؤْمِنٌ دُونَ مُؤْمِنٍ فِي قِتَالٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ إِلا عَلَى عَدْلٍ وَسَوَاءٍ.
