Imam Ali saw his stolen armor in the hands of a Christian man. He brought him before the judge and he himself sat next to the Christian man.
Then he said: This is my armor. The Christian man said this is my armor, but Amir al-Mu’minin does not lie either.
The judge said to Imam Ali: Do you have any witnesses?
When Imam Ali (peace be upon him) challenged Muawiyah to a duel during the Battle of Saffin so that people could be spared from the war with the death of one of them.
Amr ibn al-As said to Muawiyah: “Imam Ali has been fair to you, and it would be best if you yourself confronted him.”
The Messenger of God (pbuh&h) stated, “Don’t consider the seditions of the Last Era as malevolent! It’s because, they can ruin the hypocrites!”
