Pearl of Wisdom
?O people! Will a person be killed whilst I am among you, and it is not known whom the killer is?! If all the people of the heavens and the earth were to get together and kill a Muslim [believer], Allah would Punish them all without account and judgment.'
Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa] Kanz al-'Ummal, no. 39952

Sermon 10 About Talhah and az-Zubayr
Beware! Satan (1) has collected his group and assembled his horse-men and foot-soldiers. Surely, with me is my sagacity. I have neither deceived myself nor ever been deceived. By Allah I shall fill to the brim for them a cistern from which I alone would draw water. They can neither turn away from it nor return to it.
(1). When Talhah and az-Zubayr broke away by violating the Oath of allegiance and set for Basrah in the company of `A'ishah, Amir al-mu'minin spoke in these words which are part of the long speech. Ibn Abi'l-Hadid has written that in this sermon Satan denotes the real Satan as well as Mu`awiyah because Mu`awiyah was secretly conspiring with Talhah and az-Zubayr and instigating them to fight against Amir al-mu'minin but the reference to the real Satan is more appropriate, obvious and in accord with the situation and circumstances.
