Alone with the Alone

Quote No. 74 from Ali Ibn Abi Talib

On Endurance and Patience

إنَّ لنا حقًّا، فإن أُعطيناهُ فلنا، وإلّا ركبنا أعجازَ الإبلِ وإن طالَ السُّرى.

We have a right. If it is given to us, well and good. If not, we will ride on the hind part of the camel like lowly people, though the night journey may be long.
