Amir al-Muminin, peace be upon him said: When you gain power over your adversary pardon him by way of thanks for being able to overpower him.

و درود خدا بر او فرمود: اگر بر دشمنت دست يافتي، بخشيدن او را شكرانه پيروزي قرار ده.
 

Amir al-Muminin, peace be upon him said: The most helpless of all men is he who cannot find a few brothers during his life, but still more helpless is he who finds such a brother but loses him.

و درود خدا بر او فرمود: نا توان ترين مردم كسي است كه در دوست‌يابي ناتوان است، او از او ناتوان‌تر آنكه دوستان خود را از دست بدهد.
