Hadith 1

l-Numan with a thousand men and advised him that he should keep away from the cities and the communities, and that he should not raid upon any armed people, and that he should hasten the return. Al-Numan came back until he was near to Ayn Al-Tamr, and Malik was at it, and there used to be a thousand men with Malik, and he had permitted for them, so they had returned to Al-Kufa. There did not remain with him except a hundred of approximate to it. Malik wrote to Ali-asws. He-asws ascended the pulpit, praised Allah-azwj and extolled upon Him-azwj, then said: ‘O people of Al-Kufa! When the eagle from the eagles of the people of Syria descends upon you, you hide in your houses and close your doors, (like) the hiding of the antelope in its burrow, and the hyena in its lair. The disgraced, by Allah-azwj, is the one whom you help, and the one who is thrown by you from above to the bottom. Ugh to you all! I-asws have faced grief from you! ! Woe be unto you all! One day I-asws whisper to you, and one day I-asws call out to you, but there is no freedom during the call, nor are you sincere brother during the meeting. By Allah-azwj! I-asws had wished with you, (but) you are deaf, not hearing, mute, not using intellects, blind, not seeing! ! So, the Praise is for Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds. Woe be unto you!

I-asws stand among you shouting, and I-asws call out to you crying for help, but you are neither listening to a word of mine-asws nor are you obeying any order of mine, until the affairs would be uncovered from the evil end-results. Neither any retaliation will be realised by you nor with any goal be reached by you! ! I-asws call you to help your brothers, so you come out like the coming out by the captive camel, and your sluggishness is sluggishness of the tired backs. Then there came out to me-asws from you some fearful soldiers, It is as if they are being driven to the death and they are looking on [8: 6]’. Then he-asws descended and entered his-asws house. Udayy Bin Hatim stood up and said, ‘By Allah-azwj! This is the abandonment. This is not what we pledged allegiance to Amir Al-Momineen-asws upon’. Then he entered to see him-asws and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! There
