الإمام زين­ العابدين عليه ­السلام: إنَّ عَلِيّاً عليه السلام كَتَبَ إلى‏ مالِكٍ - و هُوَ عَلى‏ مُقَدِّمَتِهِ يَومَ البَصرَةِ - بِأَن لا يَطعُنَ في غَيرِ مُقبِلٍ و لا يَقتُلَ مُدبِراً وَ لا يُجيزَ عَلى‏ جَريحٍ و مَن أغلَقَ بابَهُ فَهُوَ آمِنٌ.

Imam al-Sajjad (AS) said, 'Imam Ali (AS) wrote to Malik al-Ashtar who was in the frontline in the battle in Basra, 'Do not fight those who are not advancing, nor should one who retreats be killed, nor should one finish off a wounded. He who closes the door of his house is safe.'
