Sermon 61

Do not fight the Kharijites after me, because one who seeks right but does not find it, is not like one who seeks wrong and finds it.

As-Sayyid ar-Radi says: (By "one who seeks wrong and finds it") Amir al-mu'minin means Mu'awiyah and his men.

وقال (عليه السلام) فيهم لاَ تَقْتُلُوا الْخَوَارِجَ بَعْدِي، فَلَيْسَ مَنْ طَلَبَ الْحَقَّ فَأَخْطَأَهُ، كَمَنْ طَلَبَ الْبَاطِلَ فَأَدْرَكَهُ. قال السيد الشريف: يعني معاوية وأصحابه.
