Hadith 54

y of his-asws cavalry. A youth from the people said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I happened to be near from him-asws, and if they had crossed the river, I would have made the blade of this spear to be in his-asws eye. Is he-asws claiming knowledge of the unseen? ’
When Ali-asws ended up to the river, he-asws found the people to have broken the covers of their swords, and hamstrung their horses, and knelt upon their knees, and judging one judgment in a mighty voice having rhythm for it. That youth descended and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! I had doubted regarding you-asws, but now I am repenting to Allah-azwj and to you-asws, for forgive me’. Ali-asws said: ‘He-azwj is the One-azwj Who Forgives the sins’, and he-asws sought Forgiveness for him’’. [43]
And Al Mubrad mentioned in (the book) ‘Al Kamil’ saying, ‘When Ali-asws paused them at Al-Nahrawan, he-asws said: ‘Do not initiate the fighting (against) them until they initiate (against) you’. A man from them attacked upon a row of Ali-asws and killed three from them. He-asws went out to him and struck him, and killed him. When his-asws sword went inside him, he said, ‘Oh we prefer the going to the Paradise’. Abdullah Bin Wahab said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I don’t know whether to the Paradise or to the Fire’. A man from them, from the clan of Sa’ad, said, ‘But rather, I was presented at the deception of this man, meaning Abdullah, and saw him to have doubted and isolated from the war along with a community from the people. And a thousand of them came towards the direction of Abu Ayoub Al-Ansary, and he was upon the right flank of Ali-asws. He said to his companion, ‘Attack upon them, for by Allah-azwj, no ten from you would be killed and no ten from them would be safe’. He attacked upon them and crushed them with a crushing, and nine from his companions were killed, and eight from the Kharijites escaped’’. [44]
And it is mentioned by Al Mubrad and others as well, ‘When Amir Al-Momineen-asws sent Abdullah Bin Al-Abbas to them (Kharijites) in order to debate with them, he said to them, ‘What is that which you are avenging against Amir Al-Momineen-asws? ’ They said, ‘He-asws used to be a commander of the Momineen. When he-asws judged in the religion of Allah-azwj, he-asws exited from the Eman. So, let him-asws repent after his-asws acceptance with the Kufr, we shall return to him-asws’. Ibn Abbas said, ‘It is not befitting for a Momin who did not doubt his-asws Eman with any doubt that he-asws should accept with the Kufr upon himself-asws’. They said, ‘He-asws ordered with the arbitration’. He said, ‘Allah-azwj Commanded with the arbitration in killing a prey. He-azwj Said: The possessor of justice from you would judge with it, [5: 95], so how can it be ambiguous regarding the Imamate upon the Muslims? ’
They said, ‘He-asws had judged upon it and did not agree’. He said, ‘The government is like the Imamate, and when the Imam-asws makes mischief, it obligates disobeying him, and like that were the two judges. When they both opposed, their words were discarded’. They said to each other, ‘Make the argument of Quraysh as an argument upon them, for this is from those Allah-azwj Said regarding them: But, they are a dis
