#suntv #nahjulbalagha #nahjulbalaghaenglish
When Imam Ali Ibn Abu Talib’s Companions Expressed Displeasure about His Attitude Concerning the Arbitration, He Said the Following :

O people! Matters between me and you went as I wished till war
exhausted you. By Allah, it has overtaken some of you while leaving
others, completely weakening your enemy. Till yesterday, I was giving
orders but today I am being given orders! Till yesterday, I was dissuading
people (from wrong deeds), but today I am being dissuaded! You have
now shown a liking to live in this world, and it is not for me to bring you
to what you dislike.
