2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Ash’ariyfrom ibn al-Qaddah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that a man challenged a certain person from Banu Hashim to fight. He refused to fight. Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), asked, ‘What has made you to refuse?’ He replied, ‘He is an Arab knight and I feared that he may defeat me.’ Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), said to him, ‘He has transgressed against you. Were you to fight him, you would have defeated him. If a mountain transgresses against a mountain the transgressor is crushed.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said, ‘al-Husayn ibn Ali (a.s.), challenged a man to fight and Amir al-Mu’minin noticed it and said, “If you do such a thing again I will reprimand you. If you are challenged and you refuse to fight I will also reprimand you. Do you not know that he is a transgressor?'"
