Treat others equally regardless of differences ; Protect each other from enemies ; Honour any protection given even by those who may seem least capable ; Do not kill any believer for a disbeliever ; Do not give refuge or commit offences .

This hadith is about the importance of equality amongst believers and protecting covenants. It was narrated by Qais bin 'Ubad that he set out with al-Ashtar to go to 'Ali. They asked if the Prophet of Allah told him something that he did not tell to all the people, and he said no except what is in this document which was in the sheath of his sword. The document stated that 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 for a disbeliever and no one who has a covenant is to be killed during the covenant. Whoever commits an offence or gives refuge to an offender will have Allah's curse upon them as well as from angels and all people. This hadith teaches us about how important it is for believers to treat each other equally regardless of their differences, protect each other from enemies, honour any protection given even by those who may seem least capable, not kill any believer for a disbeliever or anyone with a covenant during its duration, and not give refuge or commit offences as it will bring Allah's curse upon them.
