Compassion in the Return of Spoils

Hazrat Musleh-e-Maud (ra) further states, “Hazrat Ali (ra)’s army took over the spoils belonging to the Khwarij and distributed the weapons and the mounts used in the war amongst the people. But upon returning to Kufa, Hazrat Ali (ra) returned the possessions, slaves and concubines to their owners.”
