Imam Ali (AS) said, I swear by Allah! Even if you run away from the sword of this transitory world you will not be safe from the swords of the Hereafter. You are the foremost among the Arabs and the greatest figures [of the community], so be ashamed of fleeing [from the battlefield], for certainly in it is a covering of disgrace and [a cause of] entry into hellfire.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : وَ أيْمُ اللّهِ لَئِنْ فَرَرْتُمْ مِنْ سَيْفِ العاجِلَةِ لاتَسْلَمُوا مِنْ سُيُوفِ الآخِرَةِ وَ أنْتُمْ لَهاميمُ العَرَبِ وَ السَّنامُ الأعْظَمُ فَاسْتَحْيُوا مِنَ الفِرارِ فَإنَّ فيهِ ادِّراعُ العارِ وَ وُلُوجُ النّارِ
