Imamu Abu Ubaid Al-Qasim bin Salam, Mwenyezi Mungu amrehemu, alijadili maneno magumu ya Sahifa hii katika kitabu chake "Al-Gharib" na pia sehemu nyingine. Imamu Zanjawaih (2/471/751) aliipokea hii kwa baadhi ya mabadiliko ya mpangilio wake.

Imaam Abu Ubaid Al-Qasim bin Salam, may Allah have mercy upon him, discussed the obscure expressions of this Sahifa in his book “Al- Gharib” and in other places. Imam Zanjawaih (2/471/751) transmitted this with some element of disposal:

Abu Ubaid alisema: Kuhusu kauli (yaani katika Sahifa): "Kabila fulani lina wajibu juu ya Rabaa'ah yao" (na Ribaa'ah ndiyo sahihi zaidi kwa maoni yangu), alisema: Hivi ndivyo alivyotusimulia Ibn Bukair kutoka kwa Al-Laith bin Sa'd. Ar-Rabaa'ah maana yake ni al-Ma'aaqil (kesi za fidia ya damu). Inaweza kusemwa: "Fulani ndiye mwenye wajibu wa Rabaa'ah ya watu wake": pale anapoteuliwa kusimamia mambo yao au ni mwakilishi wa viongozi kwa niaba yao. Kuhusu kauli: "Hakika waumini hawatamwacha mtu aliyelemewa na deni (Mufrah) bila kumsaidia katika ukombozi na fidia ya damu", basi "Al-Mufrah" maana yake ni mtu aliyezidiwa na deni. (Sahifa) inasema: Lazima wamsaidie. Akiwa ni mateka, lazima walipe fidia ili amkomboe, na akiwa amefanya kosa linalostahili fidia ya damu, watalipa kwa niaba yake. Kuhusu kauli: "Mshirikina haruhusiwi kulinda mali ya Quraish", hii inawahusu Mayahudi waliokuwa na mikataba ya amani nao. (Sahifa) inasema: Mkataba wenu wa amani hauhusishi kulinda mali ya maadui zake wala kuwasaidia dhidi yake. Kuhusu kauli: "Yeyote aliyemuua muumini bila haki (I'tibaat), kuna kisasi". Neno "I'tibaat" lililotumika hapa lina maana ya kwamba anamuua akiwa hana hatia na damu yake imekatazwa. Asili ya "I'tibaat" inahusiana na ngamia, yaani pale wanapochinjwa bila sababu yoyote ya haki wala kusudi.

“Abu Ubaid said: Regarding the statement (i.e. in the Sahifa): “So and so tribe is responsible over their Rabaa’ah” (And Ribaa’ah is most correct in my view), he said: This is how it was narrated to us by Ibn Bukair from Al-Laith bin Sa’d. Ar-Rabaa’ah means al-Ma’aaqil (cases of blood money). It could be said: “So and so is responsible for the Rabaa’ah of his people”: When he is appointed to discharge their affairs or is a delegate to the leaders on behalf of them. Concerning the statement: “Verily, the believers shall not leave any indebted person (Mufrah) without assisting him in ransom and blood money”, then “Al-Mufrah” means: The one overburdened with debt. It (the Sahifa) is saying: They must assist him. If he was a captive, they must pay the ransom to free him and if had perpetrated a crime warranting blood money, they would pay it on his behalf. As for the statement: “A polytheist shall not protect the property of Quraish”, then this refers to the Jews who had peace agreements with them. It (the Sahifa) is saying: Your peace agreement does not include protecting the properties of his enemies or to aid them against him. Regarding the statement: “Whoever has killed a believer without right (I’tibaat), there is retaliation”. The term “I’tibaat” employed here means that he kills him whilst he was innocent and his blood was prohibited. The origin of “I’tibaat” is related to camels, referring to when they are slaughtered without any just cause or purpose.
