When he was told that the Kharijites had been totally annihilated

When Amīr al-mu’minīn was told that the Khārijites had been totally killed, he said :

By Allāh, no, not yet. They still exist in the loins of men and wombs of women. Whenever a chief would appear from among them he would be cut down till the last of them would turn thieves and robbers. [1]
