Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Indeed I have called you to fight those people day and night both secretly and openly, and I have told you: ‘Attack them before they attack you, for by Allah no sooner are any people attacked in the midst of their abodes than they are disgraced.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : ألا وإنّي قد دَعَوتُكُم إلى قِتالِ هؤلاءِ القَومِ لَيلاً ونَهاراً ، وسِرّاً وإعْلاناً ، وقُلتُ لَكُمُ : اغْزوهُم قَبلَ أنْ يَغْزوكُم ، فواللّهِ ما غُزِيَ قَومٌ قَطُّ في عُقْرِ دارِهِم إلّا ذَلّوا.
