"Whenever the polytheists kindled the fire of battle, Allah (s.w.t.) would put it off. And when the adherents of shaitan would manifest themselves or the beastly ones among the polytheists opened their mouths of envy, he (the Prophet) would dispatch his brother (Imam Ali) towards them. He (Imam Ali) would crush them and extinguish the blaze of their fire with his sword. And he (Imam Ali) bore etreme brutality in the way of Allah (s.w.t.) and strove to obey the commands of Allah (s.w.t.). He was the most nearest to the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.s.) and the Master of the Friends of Allah (s.w.t.). He was always ready to serve the creations (of Allah), looking at the welfare of the people, endevouring and toiling (in this way). And he was not affected with the censure of any censurer.[196] While you were living a life of pleasure and peace, and were far away from the severity of battle, (were in) enjoyment and in security. Then you awaited that we the Ahlulbait (a.s.) may be engulfed in severity and waited to hear this news. And in the heat of the battle you retreated back and fled away from the battlefield".
[196] Refer the Qur'anic Verse, "Soon will Allah bring (forward) a people, them He loves and they love Him, lowly before the believers, mighty against the infidels, striving hard in Allah's way, and they fear not the censure of any censurer. This is the Grace of Allah, He gives it to whomsoever He desires" Surah al Maedah : 54
