c. 1599, Bahāʾ al‐Dīn ʿĀmilī, “Section 3”, in کشکول:امیر مؤمنان علی(ع) را روزی که بر قاطری به جنگ بود، گفتند: کاش اسبی را بر همی نشستی. فرمود: من از کسی که حمله آرد، نگریزم و بر آن کس که گریزد حمله نبرم. از این رو، همین قاطر کفایتم میکند.- amīr-i mu'minān (alayhi-s-salām) rā rōzē ki bar qātirē ba jang būd, guftand: kāš asbē rā bar hamē nišastī. farmūd: man az kasē ki hamla ārad, na-gurēzam u bar ān kas ki gurēzad hamla na-baram. az īn rō, hamīn qātir kifāyat-am mē-kunad.
- When the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) went to battle on a mule one day, they said to him: "I wish you were sitting on a horse!" He said: "I do not flee from the one who attacks me and do not attack the one who flees. Therefore this mule is enough for me."
