السيوطي:٤-٣٠٢b

"عن علي قال: الأَمْرُ لَهُمْ مَا لمْ يَقْتُلُوا قتيلهم، وَيَتَنَافَسُوا بَيْنَهُمْ، فَإِذَا

كَانَ ذَلِكَ بَعَثَ الله عَلَيْهِمْ أَقْوَامًا مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَقَتَلُوهُمْ بَددَا (*)، وَأَحْصَوْهُمْ عَدَدًا، وَالله لَا يَمْلِكُونَ سَنَةً إِلَّا مَلَكْنَا سَنَتَيْنِ، ولا يَمْلِكُون سَنَتَيْنِ إِلَّا مَلَكْنَا أَرْبَعًا".
