SERMON 177 - About the Two Arbiters (Following the Battle of Siffin)


Your party decided to select two persons, so we took their pledge that they would adhere to the Holy Qur’an and would not commit excesses, that their tongues should be with it and their hearts should follow it. But they deviated from it, abandoned what was right although they had it before their very eyes. Wrong-doing was their desire and going astray was their conduct. Although we had settled with them to decide with justice, to act according to what is right and without the interference of their evil views and wrong Judgment. Now that they have abandoned the course of right, coming out with just the opposite of what was settled, we have strong grounds (to reject their verdict).
