Miracle 50: Imam Ali (a.s.) Splits Marhab into Two

And it is reported that Imam Ali (a.s.) struck Marhab the Kafir on the day of Khyber, upon his head. It cut through the turban, and the helmet, and the head, and the throat, and whatever was upon him from the front and back, until it split him in two halves. Then he (a.s.) attacked upon seventy horsemen. He (a.s.) split them and the two segments were bewildered from his deed, and they were defeated back to the fort.1
