❝Your saying that Ali fought and did not take slaves or money. Do you want to take your mother Aisha as a slave? And you make it allowable to take from her what you make it allowable to take from others, yet she is your mother? If you said that you make it allowable to take from her what you make it allowable to take from others, then you became disbeliever! And if you said that she is not your mother, then you became disbeliever! Because Allah Almighty says, “The Prophet is closer to the Believers than their own selves, and his wives are their mothers.” [al-Ahzab, 33:5] You are in a circle around two deviations. Go and find a way out.❞ — Ibn Abbas (d. 68 AH) to the Khawarij who fought Ali ibn Abi Talib via Nasa’i
