Hadith 147

Al-Aas has descended nearby Egypt among a colossal army, and that the ones who are upon the like of his views have come out to him, and the exit of the ones who were upon his view is better for you than their staying in your presence. And you mentioned that you have seen defeat from the ones before you, so do not feel defeated and even if they feel defeated. Fortify with your relatives and press your Shias to you and the first guards among your soldiers, and delegate to the people Kinanah Bin Bishr, the one well-known with the advice, and experience, and the prowess; and I-asws am delegating people to you upon the difficulties and the humiliation. Be patient to your enemies and continue upon your insight, and fight them upon your intention, and fight them anticipating to Allah-azwj and even if your group is the lesser of the two groups, for Allah-azwj the Exalted Assists the few and Abandons the numerous. And I-asws have read the letter of the two transgressors (Muawiya and Amro), the ones crawling upon the disobedience, and blamers upon the straying, and the ones mistreating in the governance, and the ones arrogant upon the people of religion, those who are enjoying with their opposition just as the ones before them enjoyed with their opposition. So, do not be hurt by their thunder and their lightning, and answer them, and even if you do not answer them with what they are deserving of, you will still find words what you like. And the greetings’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr wrote to Muawiya in answer to his letter, ‘As for after, your letter came to me mentioning the matter of Usman, a matter there is no excusing to you from it, and you are instructing me with stepping aside from you as if you are an adviser to me, and you are frightening me with the war as if you are being compassionate upon me. And I wish that the surrounding happens upon you, and that Allah-azwj would Forsake you during the event, and that the disgrace would descend with you, and if you were to turn around, then command would happen to be for you in the world. By my life! How many, how many an oppressor you have helped, and how many a Momin you have killed and trampled, and to Allah-azwj is the destination, and to Him-azwj return the matters, and He is the most Merciful of the merciful ones [12: 64] and Allah is the Helper upon what you are describing [12: 18]’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr wrote to Amro Bin Al-Aas in answer to his letter, ‘As for after, I have understood your letter and know what you have mention and claimed that you do not like me to be afflicted by a victory from you. I testify with Allah-azwj that you are from the invalidated ones; and you are claiming that you are an adviser to me, and I swear that you are a suspect in my presence; and you claimed that the people of the city have rejected me and are regretting upon having followed me, so they are your party and the party of the Pelted Satan-la, and we anticipate Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds and are relying upon Allah-azwj, the Mighty, the Merciful Lord-azwj of the Magnificent Throne’’.
