Imam Ali (AS) said, Do not let the fleeing which is followed by return and the retreat that is followed by attack bear down on you. Give the swords their due right and prepare a place for the fallen [soldiers]. Embolden yourselves to charge with intensity and strike with full force, and silence the voices, as this dispels cowardice.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : لاتَشْتَدَّنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَرَّةٌ بَعْدَها كَرَّةٌ وَ لا جَوْلَةٌ بَعْدَها صَوْلَةٌ وَ أعْطُوا السُّيُوفَ حُقُوقَها وَ قِصُّوا (وَ وَطِّنُوا للجُنُوبِ) لِلْحَرْبِ مَصارِعَها وَ اذْمِرُوا أنْفُسَكُمْ عَلَى الطَّعْنِ الدَّعْسِيِّ وَ الضَّرْبِ الطِّلَخْفى وَ أميتُوا الأصْواتَ فَإنَّهُ أطْرَدُ لِلْفَشَلِ
