Life and death are not things to be played with. Fortunately, Aladdin didn't want anyone dead, so there was no problem with that.
However, Aladdin was clever! Instead of using his first wish, he tricked the Genie by saying he wouldn't believe him until he was given a display of power. So the Genie used his magic to get them all out of the cave. He then realized the trick, and made Aladdin swear to never do it again. The Genie also explained how sad and lonely his life was, always a slave and stuck to the lamp. Aladdin felt pity for his friend, and made another promise - that for his third future wish, he would wish for the Genie's freedom.
