Abu At-Tufail 'Amir bin Wathilah said: "I was with 'Ali bin Abi Talib when a man came to him and said: 'What did the Prophet (s.a.w) tell you in secret?' He got angry and said: 'The Prophet (s.a.w) did not tell me anything in secret that he hid from the people, but he told me four things."' He said: "What are they, O Amir Al-Mu'minin?" He said: "He (s.a.w) said: 'May Allah curse the one who curses his father, may Allah curse the one who offers a sacrifice to anything other than Allah, may Allah curse the one who gives refuge to a Muhdith, and may Allah curse the one who changes the boundary markers."

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، وَسُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ مَرْوَانَ ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ: حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْفَزَارِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الطُّفَيْلِ عَامِرُ بْنُ وَاثِلَةَ ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ: مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسِرُّ إِلَيْكَ ، قَالَ: فَغَضِبَ ، وَقَالَ: مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسِرُّ إِلَيَّ 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 اللهِ ، وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا ، وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ غَيَّرَ مَنَارَ الأَرْضِ.

It was narrated that Abu At-Tufail said: "We said to 'Ali bin Abi Talib: 'Tell us of something that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) 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: "May Allah curse the one who offers a sacrifice to something other than Allah, may Allah curse the one who gives refuge to a Muhdith, may Allah curse the one who curses his parents and may Allah curse the one who changes the boundary markers."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ ، قَالَ: قُلْنَا لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، أَخْبِرْنَا بِشَيْءٍ أَسَرَّهُ إِلَيْكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ: مَا أَسَرَّ إِلَيَّ شَيْئًا كَتَمَهُ النَّاسَ ، وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللهِ ، وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا ، وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَيْهِ ، وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ غَيَّرَ الْمَنَارَ.

It was narrated that Abu At-Tufail said: "Ali (bin Abi Talib) was asked: 'Did the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) tell you anything that was for you only?' He said: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) did not tell us anything that was for us only, that he did not tell all the people, except that which is in this sheath of my sword.' He took out a document on which it was written: 'May Allah curse the one who offers a sacrifice to anything other than Allah, may Allah curse the one who steals the boundary markers, may Allah curse the one who curses his parents, and may Allah curse the one who gives refuge to a Muhdith.''

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالاَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ أَبِي بَزَّةَ ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ عَلِيٌّ ، أَخَصَّكُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ ؟ فَقَالَ: مَا خَصَّنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَعُمَّ بِهِ النَّاسَ كَافَّةً ، إِلاَّ مَا كَانَ فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفِي هَذَا ، قَالَ: فَأَخْرَجَ صَحِيفَةً مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهَا: لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللهِ ، وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ سَرَقَ مَنَارَ الأَرْضِ ، وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَهُ ، وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا.
