When he was told that the Kharijites had crossed the bridge of Nahrawan
مَصَارِعُهُمْ دُونَ النُّطْفَةِ، وَاللهِ لاَ يُفْلِتُ مِنْهُمْ عَشَرَةٌ، وَلاَ يَهْلِكُ مِنْكُمْ عَشَرَةٌ.
Their falling place is on this side of the river. By Allāh, not even ten of them will survive while from your side not even ten will be killed. [1]
