وقال عليه السلام في الخوارج
Amīr al-mu’minīn also said concerning the Khārijites:
Do not fight the Kharijites after me!
Nahj al-Balāgha|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 61
لاَ تَقْتُلُوا الْخَوَارِجَ بَعْدِي، فَلَيْسَ مَنْ طَلَبَ الْحَقَّ فَأَخْطَأَهُ، كَمَنْ طَلَبَ الْبَاطِلَ فَأَدْرَكَهُ.
Do not fight [1] the Khārijites after me, because one who seeks right but does not find it, is not like one who seeks wrong and finds it.
قال السيد الشريف: يعني معاوية وأصحابه.
as-Sayyid ar-Raḍī says: Amīr al-mu’minīn means Mu‘āwiyah and his men.
