Sermon 60

When Amir al-mu'minin was told that the Kharijites had been totally killed, he said

By Allah! No, not yet. They still exist in the loins of men and wombs of women. Whenever a chief would appear from among them, he would be cut down till the last of them would turn thieves and robbers.

وقال (عليه السلام) لمّا قتل الخوارج فقيل له: يا أميرالمؤمنين، هلك القوم بأجمعهم، فقال: كَلاَّ وَالله، إِنَّهُمْ نُطَفٌ فِي أَصْلاَبِ الرِّجَالِ، وَقَرَارَاتِ النِّسَاءِ، كُلَّمَا نَجَمَ مِنْهُمْ قَرْنٌ قُطِعَ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ آخِرُهُمْ لُصُوصاً سَلاَّبِينَ.
