Historian Ibn Kathīr on the Khārijites Pardoned by ʿAlī Who Rejoiced at His Assassination and Mobilized Themselves Against Muslims Posted by Abu Iyaad on Tuesday, October, 18 2016 and filed under History The historian, Ibn Kathīr writes in al-Bidāyah (Dār Ibn Kathīr, 1431H) 8/13:
This indicates that the Khārijites rarely abandon their doctrine and often lie in wait, lurking around, organising and waiting for the right opportunity to come out against Muslim societies. Despite the fact that ʿAlī spared the lives of many of them and let them go on their way, they rejoiced at his assassination, praised his murderer and mobilized themselves to attack people under the guise of ‘enjoining good’. Abu Iyāḍ. 17 Muḥarram 1438 / 18 October 2016
