Hazrat Thalabah bin Yazid Hammani narrates that I heard Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) saying from this pulpit: O people! Help me in safeguarding your own selves, for seven men are enough for the reformation of the entire town. And if you are determined to cause plunder in it, then come, I will distribute it among you, because when a people come and settle with another people, they turn their faces away from the town of those people.
