Abu Hurayrah said, "He has said the truth,'' and
he held his hand and went to Marwan bin Al-
Hakam, who was the governor of Al-Madinah
during the reign of Muawiyah.
Abu Hurayrah said, "This is Ali and he came in
repentance and you do not have a way against
him, nor can you have him killed.''
So Ali was absolved of punishment and remained
on his repentance and went to the sea to perform
Jihad in Allah's cause.
The Muslims met the Romans in battle, and the
Muslims brought the ship Ali was in to one of the
Roman ships, and Ali crossed to that ship and the
Romans escaped from him to the other side of the

یََأَی ُّهَا ال َّذِینَ‏ ءَامَنُواْ‏ ات َّقُواْ‏ الل َّهَ‏ وَابْتَغُواْ‏ إِلَيهِ‏ الْوَسِيلَةَ‏
وَجَهِدُواْ‏ فِى سَبِيلِهِ‏ لَعَل َّكُمْ‏ تُفْلِحُونَ‏
5:35 O you who believe! Have Taqwa of Allah and
seek the Wasilah to Him, and strive hard in His
cause, so that you may be successful.
إِن َّ ال َّذِینَ‏ آَفَرُواْ‏ لَوْ‏ أَن َّ لَهُمْ‏ م َّا فِى الا ٌّرْضِ‏ جَمِيعاً‏ وَمِثْلَهُ‏
مَعَهُ‏ لِيَفْتَدُواْ‏ بِهِ‏ مِنْ‏ عَذَابِ‏ یَوْمِ‏ الْقِيَمَةِ‏ مَا تُقُب ِّلَ‏ مِنْهُمْ‏
وَلَهُمْ‏ عَذَابٌ‏ أَلِيمٌ‏
5:36 Verily, those who disbelieve, if they had all
that is in the earth, and as much again therewith to
ransom themselves thereby from the torment on
the Day of Resurrection, it would never be accepted
of them. And theirs would be a painful torment.
