Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Amr ibn ‘Uthman from Muhammad ibn ‘Adhafir from ‘Uqbah ibn Bashir from ‘ Abd Allah ibn Sharik from his father who has said the following: “When people on the day of camel were defeated, Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), said, ‘You must not pursue the fleeing, you must not hurt the wounded, and those who close their door are granted immunity.’ On the day of Siffin he eliminated the attackers and the fleeing and gave permission about the wounded.

Aban ibn Taghlib said to “Abd Allah ibn Sharik, ‘These are two different ways of dealings.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘On the day of al-Basra people killed Talhah and al- Zubayr. Mu‘awiyah was alive and he was the commander.’” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (18/362))
