Ḥusayn al-Muʿallim narrated—from ʿAmr, from his father, from his grandfather ʿAbd Allāh—in a marfūʿ report: “For bone-exposing wounds (mawāḍiḥ) the compensation is five camels.” (1)
Aḥmad said: Yazīd narrated to us; Ibn Isḥāq informed us; from ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb, from his father, from his grandfather ʿAbd Allāh, who said:
“When the Prophet ﷺ entered Mecca in the year of the Conquest, he stood and addressed the people, declaring, ‘There is no pact of mutual alliance in Islam.’ (2) …” and the remainder of the ḥadith follows.
Jarīr ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd transmitted—from Ibn Isḥāq, from ʿAmr, from his father, from his grandfather, from ʿAbd Allāh—who said:
“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prescribe the following words for times of sudden fear: ‘I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from His anger and His punishment, from the evil of His servants, from the whisperings of the devils, and from their coming near me.’”
The same wording—“from his grandfather, from ʿAbd Allāh”—is recorded by al-Ḥākim in the section “Invocations,” where he said:
Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Bālawayh narrated to us; ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal narrated to us; ʿUbayd Allāh narrated to us
= Corroborated by the report of Abu Musa al-Ashari found in Abu Dawud, no. 4557; al-Nasai, 8/56; and Ibn Majah, no. 2654.
(1) Reported by Abu Dawud, no. 4566, Book of Blood-Money, chapter “Compensation for Limbs”; its chain is sound. Al-mawadih is the plural of mudhiha, a wound that exposes the whiteness of the bone.
(2) All the transmitters are reliable; Ahmad records it, 2/180. The full wording is: “The Muslims are united against all others; their blood is of equal worth; the least of them may grant protection and the most distant must honor it; their raiding parties share with those who stayed behind. A believer is not killed in retaliation for a disbeliever; the blood-money of a disbeliever is half that of a Muslim. No seizure and no exile; their zakat is collected only in their own lands.”
Concerning the phrase “There is no hilf in Islam”: the term hilf originally meant a covenant or alliance for mutual assistance. Pre-Islamic (jahiliyya) pacts that fomented tribal warfare and blood-feuds are the ones the Prophet, peace be upon him, forbade with the words “No hilf in Islam.” By contrast, pacts concluded before Islam to support the oppressed and strengthen kinship ties—such as the Pact of the Perfumed Ones (hilf al-mutayyibin)—are affirmed by his saying, related by Muslim (no. 2530) from Jubayr b. Mutim: “Any hilf made in the jahiliyya is only reinforced by Islam,” meaning covenants aimed at promoting good and upholding justice. Thus the two hadiths are perfectly compatible.
