An Ansari companion said: On the day of the Battle of Jamal, when people began shouting, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Is there anyone who can explain their matter in five or six words?" I said: "O Commander of the Faithful! The matter is in two words: reconciliation or retribution." So he gestured with his hand and said: "What you have counted is beneath my feet."
