When Amir al-mu’minin passed by the corpses of Talhah ibn `Ubaydullah and `Abd ar- Rahman ibn `Attab ibn Asid who were both killed in the battle of Jamal, he said:
Abu Muhammad (Talhah) lies here away from his own place. By Allah, I did not like that the Quraysh should lie killed under the stars. I have avenged myself with the descendants of `Abd Manaf, but the chief persons of Banu Jumah (1) have escaped me. They had stretched their necks towards a matter for which they were not suited, and therefore their necks were broken before they reached the goal.
