Hazrat Dahhak, in the commentary of the verse { وَإِنْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ اقْتَتَلُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَیْنَہُمَا فَإِنْ بَغَتْ إحْدَاہُمَا عَلَی الأُخْرَی فَقَاتِلُوا الَّتِی تَبْغِی حَتَّی تَفِیئَ إِلَی أَمْرِ اللہِ } of the Holy Quran, says that correct it with the sword. A student asked, what is the ruling regarding those killed by them? He replied that they are martyrs who receive sustenance in Paradise. He was asked, what is the ruling regarding the rebels? He replied that they are of the people of Hell.

Hazrat Ata bin Saib narrates that several people told me that once a judge from Syria came to Hazrat Umar and said, "O Commander of the Faithful, I have seen a dream that has frightened me. I saw that the sun and the moon were fighting each other, and the stars were divided equally between the two. Hazrat Umar asked him, 'Which side were you on?' I said, 'I was with the moon and fighting against the sun.' Hazrat Umar recited this verse of the Holy Qur'an { وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّیْلَ وَالنَّہَارَ آیَتَیْنِ فَمَحَوْنَا آیَۃَ اللَّیْلِ وَجَعَلْنَا آیَۃَ النَّہَارِ مُبْصِرَۃً } then said, 'Go away, I will not assign you any task in the future.' Hazrat Ata says that I learned that he was killed in the Battle of Siffin in the company of Hazrat Muawiyah."

Hazrat Abdullah bin Salma narrates that I saw Hazrat Ammar in the Battle of Siffin; he was extremely old, his hand was trembling, and he was holding a spear in his hand. He was saying that even if the enemy kills us and completely destroys us, I will still be certain that our reformers are on the truth and those people are on falsehood.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when, at Siffin, people raised their hands for attack, Hazrat Amr bin Aas recited these verses: The battle has intensified, I have prepared a brave and high-bred horse for this fight. He meets hardship with hardship, and when horsemen draw near to each other, he becomes even stronger. He is swift and large, and when he is drenched with water, he becomes even more agile. After this, Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) recited verses: If the young men of Siffin were to see me standing, their hair would turn white. It was that night when the people of Iraq came like clouds. At that time, our ranks were surging like the waves of the sea. Their mill turned and our mill turned, and our shoulders pressed together. When I would say that they had fled, a group of them would suddenly come and attack. They would say to us, pledge allegiance at the hand of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and we would say, you fight.
