"عَنْ ابْنِ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ: جَاءَ جُعْدَةُ بْنُ هَبِيرَة إِلَى عَلِىٍّ فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ المؤُمِنِينَ! يَأتِيكَ الرَّجُلانِ أَنْتَ أَحَبُّ إِلى أَحَدِهِمَا مِنْ نَفْسِهِ أَوْ قَالَ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ، وَالآخَرُ لَوْ يَستَطِيعُ أَن يَذْبَحَكَ لَذَبَحَكَ فَتَقْضِى لِهَذَا عَلَى هَذَا؟ ! !، قَالَ: فَلَهَزهُ عَلَىٌّ وَقَالَ: إِنَّ هَذا شَىْءٌ لَوْ كَانَ لِى فَعَلْتُ، وَلكِن إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ شَيءٌ للهِ".

"From Ibn Rabi'ah, he said: Ju'dah ibn Hubayrah came to Ali and said: \"O Commander of the Faithful! Two men come to you, one of whom you love more than his own self, or he said more than his family and his wealth, and the other, if he could slaughter you, he would slaughter you. Will you then judge in favor of this one against that one?!\" He said: Ali pushed him hard and said: \"This is a matter which, if it were mine, I would have done it. But it is only for Allah.\""
