With their old grudges against Amir-ul-Momineen -asws they brought thousands to the battlefield but once again Mola Ali -asws warned them to refrain from fighting and avoid bloodshed. They simply ignored Mola -asws ‘s peace message. Upon receiving a signal of war Mola Ali -as proclaimed the following Khutbah(sermon). Mola Ali -asws says; ‘O People! I have preached this nation to abstain from their ugly characteristics, and they were admonished for breaking their allegiance to me.

I exposed their disobedience and their deviance from the right path but they still remained unashamed and instead, they threat me with waging a war, but I remained calm and patient. Undoubtedly, you indulged your ‘nafoos’ (yourselves) in arrogance with false pretences and kept playing with the foolish ideas. May their mothers grieve over them? I am not the one to be afraid of going a battle, but only for the sake of justice.

In the past, they have seen my kindness and firmness and have also witnessed my wisdom, how can they challenge me now? I am the same Abul Hasan -asws who crushed the ranks of the ‘mushriq’(Polytheist) and scattered their ranks and today I will greet them with the same heart. For surely Allah -azwj has promised me complete victory, without a doubt I believe in my faith and all the established matters. O People!

The death does not fall on a resident nor does it slay a warrior (in battle) yet still it is unavoidable. A warrior who is not killed in battle will still die eventually. Certainly, the most eloquent death is to be martyred. I swear by That .-azwj who holds me in His -azwj providence, I would accept a thousand wounds from a sword rather than to choose to die while lying in a bed. O’Lord!

the truth is that Talha gave false allegiance and provoked others against Usman until he was murdered and they laid the slander on me.
