Hadith 1

not god except He-azwj. As for after, May Allah-azwj Shelter you-asws from all evil and Fortify you-asws from all abhorrence(s), and upon all states. I went out to Makkah to perform Umrah and met Abdullah Bin Sa’ad Bin Abu Sarh among approximately forty youths from the sons of the liberated ones (at the conquest of Makkah), and I recognised the evil in their faces. I said, ‘To where (are you intending), O son of the adversaries? Is it with Muawiya you are joining up? By Allah-azwj! The enmity from you is ancient, undeniable. You are intending by it to extinguish the Noor of Allah-azwj and replace His-azwj Commands! ’ I made them hear from me and they made me hear from them. When I arrived at Makkah, I heard its people narrating that Al-Zahhak Bin Qays had raided upon Al-Hira and carried off from its wealth whatever he so desired, then he returned unscathed, safe. Ugh to the life during a time Al-Zahhak is audacious upon you-asws, and what is Al-Zahhak? May he burst at Qarqar! When that reached me, I imagined that your-asws Shias and your-asws helpers have abandoned you-asws. So write to me, O son-asws of my mother-as, with your-asws view. If it was the death you-asws wanted, I shall carry the sons of your-asws brother to you-asws, so we can live with you-asws what for as long as you-asws live, and die with you-asws when you-asws die. By Allah-azwj! I do not love to remain in the world after you-asws above the ground, and I swear by the Mighty and Majestic that life we shall be living after you-asws during the lifetime would neither be welcoming, nor pleasant, nor healthy. And the greetings be unto you-asws and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings’. Amir Al-Momineen-asws wrote to him: ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. From a servant of Allah-azwj, Ali-asws Amir Al-Momineen, to Aqeel son of Abu Talib-asws. Greetings be unto you! I-asws praise Allah-azwj to you Who, there is no god except He-azwj. As for after, may Allah-azwj Protect us and you with a Protection of the one who fears Him-azwj in private, He-azwj Praise-worthy, Glorious. Your letter arrived to me-asws with Abdul Rahman Bin Ubeyd Al-Azdy, mentioning in it that you met Abdullah Bin Sa’ad Bin Abu Sarh face to face from Qudeyd, among approximately forty horsemen from the sons of the liberated ones (at the conquest of Makkah), heading towards the western direction. And that Ibn Abu Sarh has for long plotted against Allah-azwj, and His-azwj Rasool-saww and His-azwj book, and hindered from His-azwj Way, and sought it to be crooked. So, leave Ibn Abu Sarh and leave Quraysh from you, and isolate from them and their running in the straying and their wandering in the wretchedness. Indeed! And the Arabs have united in declaring wars against your brother-asws today. They had united upon (staging) wars (against) the Prophet-saww before today, so they have become ignoring his-asws rights and rejecting his-asws merits, and they have manifested the enmity and installed the war against him-asws, and have struggle against him-asws
