[Machine] "And the judge of the Muslims was Shurayh, who was with Ali when he assumed office. So when Shurayh saw Amir al-Mu'minin, he stood up from the council of judges and seated Ali in his place, while he himself sat in front of him next to the Christian. Ali then said to Shurayh, 'O Shurayh, if my opponent were a Muslim, I would sit with him in the opponent's seat. But I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Do not shake hands with them, do not initiate with them the greeting of peace, do not visit their sick, do not pray for their dead, and block their paths and belittle them as Allah has belittled them. So, you decide between me and him, O Shurayh.' Shurayh replied, 'O Amir al-Mu'minin.' Ali then said, 'This is my armor, it has been missing from me for some time.' Shurayh asked, 'What do you say, O Christian?'' The Christian replied, 'I do not deny that this armor belongs to Amir al-Mu'minin. By Allah, O Amir al-Mu'minin, I followed your army and it fell from your camel, so I took it. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' Ali said, 'If you have embraced Islam, then it is yours,' and he gave it to him, along with two thousand dirhams. On the day of Siffin, he was wounded alongside Ali, and the rest is as it is. Another weak narration states that it was given to Ali by Ibrahim al-Taymi."
