In Some of the Fighting Days of the Battle of Siffin, Imam Ali
Ibn Abu Talib (􀁸) Said the Following to His Followers about the
Methods of Fighting:
O crowd of Muslims! Make fear of Allah the routine of your life.
Cover yourselves with peace of mind and clinch your teeth because this
makes the sword slip off from the skull. Complete your armor and shake
your swords in their sheathe s before showing them out. Have your eyes
416
on the enemy. Use your spears on both sides and strike (the enemy) with
swords. Keep in mind that you are before Allah and in the company of the
Prophet’s cousin. Repeat your attacks and feel ashamed of running away
because it is a shame for posterity and (the cause of awarding you) fire on
the Day of Judgement. Give your lives (to Allah) willingly and walk
towards death with ease. Beware of this great majority and the pitched
tent and aim at its entirety as Satan is hiding in its corner. He has
extended his hand for assault and has kept back his foot for running away.
Keep on enduring till the light of Truth dawns upon you.
While you have the upper hand and Allah is with you and never
will He depreciate your deeds. (Holy Quran, 47: 35)
