Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) gestured with his hand for them to sit down. And he said, "Indeed, there is no command except Allah's, but this is a word of truth by which falsehood is intended. Allah's command regarding you is being awaited. At this time, we have three concessions for you: as long as you are with us, we will not prevent you from the mosques of Allah so that Allah's name may be mentioned therein; we will not deprive you of the spoils as long as our hands and yours are joined; we will not fight you until you fight us." Then he resumed his sermon.

Hazrat Abu Bakhtari narrates that a man entered the mosque and said, "There is no authority except that of Allah." Then another man stood up and said, "There is no authority except that of Allah." Upon hearing this, Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "There is no authority except that of Allah. Surely, Allah's promise is true, and let not those who do not believe hold you in contempt. Do you know what these people are saying? They are saying that there is no leadership." O people! It is necessary for you to have a leader, whether he is righteous or sinful." The people asked, "We have seen a righteous leader, but what is a sinful one like?" Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "A believer acts (righteously), and a wicked person is given respite. Allah grants him time. Your roads are secure, your markets are established, your spoils of war are distributed, jihad is waged against your enemy, and the right of the weak is taken from the strong and given to him."

Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was distributing the spoils of Hunain among us when a man from Banu Tamim, who was called Dhu al-Khuwaisira, came. He said, "O Messenger of Allah! Be just." The Prophet replied, "Woe to you! If I do not act justly, then who will be successful and prosperous?" Hazrat Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah! Allow me, I will kill him." The Prophet said, "No, he has some companions who will appear at the time of people's discord. They will recite the Qur'an but the Qur'an will not go beyond their throats. They will leave the religion just as an arrow leaves the bow. You will consider your prayers insignificant compared to their prayers, and your fasting insignificant compared to their fasting. Their sign will be that among them there will be a man with a hand like a woman's breast, which will be hanging like a piece of flesh." Hazrat Abu Saeed says, "My ears heard this on the day of Hunain and my eyes saw it during the battle against the Khawarij with Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), when that person was brought out and I saw the man with that sign."

Hazrat Umair bin Zawdi Abu Kathirah narrates that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon to us one day. During this sermon, the Khawarij stood up and interrupted him. He descended and went into a chamber, and we also went inside with him. He said, "I was consumed on the day the white bull was consumed." Then he said, "My example is like that of the three bulls and the lion who gathered in a den. One bull was white, one was red, and one was black. Whenever the lion tried to eat the bulls, all three would unite and confront the lion, keeping him at bay. One day, the lion said to the red and black bulls, 'The color of the white bull is the cause of our disgrace in this den. You both let me eat that bull, then the three of us will live peacefully in this den. My color is like yours.' So the two bulls fell for his deception, agreed to it, and the lion immediately attacked and finished off the white bull. (2) After that, whenever the lion wanted to kill either of the two remaining bulls, they would unite and keep him at bay. Then one day, the lion said to the red bull, 'O red bull! Because of the presence of the black one here, our honor is being tarnished. Allow me to eat him, then you and I will remain here alone. My color is like yours, and your color is like mine.' So the red bull gave him permission, and he finished off the black bull. (3) Then the lion waited for a while and then said to the red bull, 'O red bull! I will eat you.' He said, 'Will you eat me?' The lion said, 'Yes, I will eat you.' The bull said, 'If you are going to eat me, then allow me to make three cries. Then do as you wish.' Then the bull said, 'I was actually consumed on the day the white bull was consumed.' (4) Then Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, 'Remember, the day Hazrat Uthman was martyred, I became weak on that very day.'"
