Hadith 1

(go home), I-asws am pardoning you all; and fear Allah-azwj and return to the obedience, and I-asws am excusing your ignorance, and I-asws shall preserve from breaking you, and I-asws shall stand among you with the fairness, and work among you with Judgments of the Book. If you do not do so, then be prepared for the arrival of an army with a multitude of horsemen, mighty generals aiming for the one who rebels and disobeys, and you would be grinded like the grinding of the mill. So the one who is good, it is for himself, and one who does evil, so it would be against him, and your Lord is not the least unjust to the servants [41: 46], or else should not be any praising by a praising one except his Lord-azwj, nor should any blamer blame except himself. And the greetings be unto you all and Mercy of Allah-azwj’. And he-asws sent the letter with a man from Hamdan: ‘Advance the letter to them’. But they did not answer him to any goodness. He returned and informed him-asws. And that group wrote to Muawiya informing him with what had transpired and (pledged) their obedience to him. When their letter arrived, Muawiya called Busr Bin Artat Al-Aamiry, and it is said it was Ibn Abi Artat, and he was on a hard heart, rough, shedder of blood. There was neither any friendliness with him or mercy, and he instructed him that he take the road of Al-Hijaz and Al-Medina and Makkah until he ends up to Al-Yemen. And he said to him, ‘Do not descend to any city whose inhabitants are upon obedience to Ali-asws except you extend your tongue upon them until they realise there is rescue for them and you have surrounded them. Then refrain from them and call them to pledge allegiance to me. The one who refuses, kill him, and kill the Shias of Ali-asws wherever they may be’. And in another report, he sent Busr among three thousand and said, ‘Travel until you pass by Al-Medina. Expel the people and frighten the ones you pass by, and plunder the wealth of everyone who has attained wealth for him, from the ones who do not happen to be in our obedience. When you enter Al-Medina, then show them that you want their souls, and inform them that there is neither any freedom for them in your presence nor any excuse, until when they think that you would be eradicating them, refrain from them. Then travel until you enter Makkah, and do not expose yourself to anyone, and let the people be scared from you in what is between Makkah and Al-Medina, and make them flee it, until you come to Sana’a and Al-Janad, for there are loyalists for us over there, and their letter has come to me’. So Busr travelled until he came to Al-Medina and ascended the pulpit, and threatened them and promised them, and after the intercession, took from them the allegiance to Muawiya, and made Abu Hureyra (as a governor) upon it, and burnt down a lot of houses. And he went to Makkah. When he was near to it, Qusam Bin Al-Abbas, office bearer of Ali-asws, fled from it and Busr entered it. He insulted the people of Makkah and warned them. Then he went out from it employing Shay
