after the battle, when Amr’s sister heard that the killer of her brother did not remove anything from the body of her brother, she said, “His killer is definitely a noble person with high moral values!” When people said that it was `Ali Ibn Abi-Talib she recited the following couplets:

If `Amr’s killer was anyone other than `Ali, I would have cried for him forever But his killer is he who has no faults And his father is known as chief of Makkah.
