According to his narration from Hasan ibn Bazee’, Balādhurī said: “When the son of Muljam hit him, he said: By the Lord of Ka’bah, I am prosperous and his last words were these verses: So, whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it (Qur’an 99: 7-8).” Ali died two days later on 21 Ramadan 40 AH (28 January 661) at the age of 62.

Do not shed the blood of the Muslims under the pretext that the Commander of the Faithful has been assassinated. Know that no one should be killed except my killer.

Wait till I die by this stroke of him, then strike a single stroke against him, and do not mutilate him, for I had heard the Holy Prophet (PBUHH) saying: “Mutilate not even a rabid dog.” Gradually, his aspiration was becoming a reality as he was coming closer to what he desired.
