مُباغَتَةُ العَدُوِّ Surprising the Enemy

5ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : ألا وإنّي قد دَعَوتُكُم إلى قِتالِ هؤلاءِ القَومِ لَيلاً ونَهاراً ، وسِرّاً وإعْلاناً ، وقُلتُ لَكُمُ : اغْزوهُم قَبلَ أنْ يَغْزوكُم ، فواللّه‏ِ ما غُزِيَ قَومٌ قَطُّ في عُقْرِ دارِهِم إلّا ذَلّوا.

5- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Indeed I have called you to fight those people day and night both secretly and openly, and I have told you: ‘Attack them before they attack you’, for by Allah no sooner are any people attacked in the midst of their abodes than they are disgraced.’[Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 27]
