Peak of Eloquence Nahjul Balagha By Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib - English Translation - Sermon 180

#suntv #nahjulbalagha #nahjulbalaghaenglish
Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (􀁸) sent one of his men to bring him
news of a group of the army of Kufa who had decided to join the
Kharijites but were afraid of him.1 When the man came back, Imam
Ali ibn Abu Talib (􀁸) said to him: “Are they satisfied and staying or
feeling weak and going astray?” The man replied, “They have gone
away, O Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib!” Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (􀁸) said
the following:

May Allah’s mercy remain away from them as in the case of
Thamud. Be informed that when the spears are hurled towards them and
the swords strike their heads, they will repent their deeds. Surely today
Satan has scattered them and tomorrow he will deny having anything to
do with them and will abandon them. They have departed from guidance
and returned to misguidance and blindness. They have turned away from
truth and fallen into wrong; such suffices (for their chastisement).
