"عَنْ يزِيدَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ مَعَ عَلِىٍّ صِفِّينَ فَكَانَ إِذَا أُتِىَ بِالأَسِيرِ قَالَ: لَنْ أَقْتُلَكَ صَبْرًا إِنِّى أَخَافُ الله رَبَّ العَالَمِينَ، وَكَانَ يَأخُذُ سِلَاحَهُ وَيحَلِّفُهُ أَنْ لَا يُقَاتِلهُ، وَيُعْطِيهِ أَرْبَعةَ دَرِاهمَ".

"On the authority of Yazid ibn Bilal, who said: I witnessed Siffin with 'Ali, and whenever a captive was brought to him he would say: "I will not kill you in cold blood, for I fear Allah, the Lord of the worlds." He would take his weapons and make him swear that he would not fight him, and would give him four dirhams."
