و درود خدا بر او فرمود: (شخصی را دید که چنان بر ضد دشمنش می کوشید که به خود زیان می رسانید، فرمود:) تو مانند کسی هستی که نیزه در بدن خود… Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, saw a man busy against his enemy with what was harmful to himself too, so he said: You are like one…
وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام): لِرَجُلٍ رَآهُ يَسْعَي عَلَي عَدُوٍّ لَهُ بِمَا فِيهِ إِضْرَارٌ بِنَفْسِهِ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ كَالطَّاعِنِ نَفْسَهُ لِيَقْتُلَ رِدْفَهُ
Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, saw a man busy against his enemy with what was harmful to himself too, so he said: You are like one who pierces a spear through himself in order to kill the person sitting behind him.
