SERMON 208 - When Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib’s Companions Expressed Displeasure about His Attitude Concerning the Arbitration, He Said the Following


O people! Matters between me and you went as I wished till war exhausted you. By Allah, it has overtaken some of you while leaving others, completely weakening your enemy. Till yesterday, I was giving orders but today I am being given orders! Till yesterday, I was dissuading people (from wrong deeds), but today I am being dissuaded! You have now shown a liking to live in this world, and it is not for me to bring you to what you dislike.
