When Amir al-mu'minin decided to fight the enemy face to face at Siffin he said:

Pearl of Wisdom

'Every single good deed that the servant carries out has a reward mentioned for it in the Qur'an except for the night prayer, for verily Allah has not expressed its reward because of the great significance it holds with Him. Thus, He says, Their sides vacate their beds to supplicate their Lord in fear and hope ...No one knows what has been kept hidden for them of comfort as a reward for what they used to do.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]

Bihar al-Anwar, v. 8, p. 126, no. 27

When Amir al-mu'minin decided to fight the enemy face to face at Siffin he said:

Sermon 170 When Amir al-mu'minin decided to fight the enemy face to face at Siffin he said:

O' my Allah! Sustainer of the high sky and the suspended firmament which Thou hast made a shelter for the night and the day, an orbit for the sun and the moon and a path for the rotating stars, and for populating it Thou hast created a group of Thy angels who do not get weary of worshipping Thee. O' Sustainer of this earth which Thou hast made an abode for people and a place for the movement of insects and beasts and countless other creatures seen and unseen. O' Sustainer of strong mountains which Thou hast made as pegs for the earth and (a means of) support for people. If Thou givest us victory over our enemy, save us from excesses and keep us on the straight path of truth. But if Thou givest them victory over us, then grant us martyrdom and save us from mischief.

Where are those who protect honour, and those self-respecting persons who defend respectable persons in the time of hardship? Shame is behind you while Paradise is in front of you.
