His sabre Dhul Fiqar, which was wielded by the Prophet on the battlefield of Badr, has been immortalized in the words of this verse found engraved in many medieval Arab records, “no sword can match Dhul Fiqar, and no young warrior can compare with Hadrat Ali.”
" Sifa kuu alizokuwa nazo Ali hazikuzidiwa na mbadilishaji dini yeyote wa siku za hivi karibuni. Alichanganya sifa za kuwa ni mshairi, mwanajeshi, na mcha Mungu; busara zake bado zinapatikana kwenye mkusanyiko wa misemo yake ya kimaadili na ya kidini; na kila adui, kwenye vita vya maneno au vya upanga, alishindwa na ufasaha na ujasiri wake.
