Speaking with caution
1997 3-4 March-April 5 Speaking with caution (54) In the Battle of Siffin in 657 AD, Muslims fought Muslims. When ‘Umar ibn ‘Abdul Aziz was asked if those who died in this battle would be among the damned or the saved, he replied: “God has kept my hand from their blood. May my tongue never be stained by it.” (Jami’ Bayan al-‘Ilm)
