Ali spares Amr ibn al-As after he was exposed

At Siffin Ali got the upper hand over Amr ibn al-As, who had fallen with his private parts exposed, and turned away without killing him, in the author's account of Ali's chivalry. Al-Aqqad counts this among the rarest acts of generosity, since Amr was more dangerous to Ali than an army.
