When Sayyidina Ali's face spat

In wartime Khandaq, the Muslims had challenged duel Wad Amr bin Abd al-Amiri, dedengkot idolaters of Quraysh were greatly feared. The Prophet said to the Companions of who will meet this challenge. 

The companions looked unperturbed. Their guts downs. In this situation Sayyidina Ali ibn Abi Talib forward, undertakes solicitation duel Amr bin Abd Wad. See who is still too young Ali, the Prophet then repeated his offer to the companions. Up to three times, it just Ali who dared to declare that the Quraish against the champions.

In situations cornered Amr ibn Abd Wad still took membrontak. Suddenly he spat in the face of the Prophet's cousin. Want to respond to this insult, Ali actually more passive. Ali aside and discouraged to kill some time.
