Hadith 147

I-asws ordered you to descend at Al-Nukheyla and that you should stay in your camp, and you should hold on to your archers, and settle yourselves upon the Jihad, and do not frequently visit your sons and your women, for the people of the war are its combatants, and the people rolling up the sleeves therein are the ones who are not ceasing from the vigil of their nights nor the thirst of their days, nor the emptiness of the bellies, nor resting their bodies. A party from them descended with me-asws excusing, and a party from them entered the city disobeying. So, neither the ones from you remaining was patient and affirmed nor did the ones who entered the city return to me-asws, and I-asws returned and looked at my-asws army and there weren’t even fifty men in it. When I-asws saw you have come with I-asws entered to you all, but I-asws was not able to go out (to war) up to this day of ours. So, what are you waiting for? Are you not seeing your outskirts to have been disparaged? And to your cities to have been conquered? And to my-asws Shias at it to have been killed? And to your interest exposed? And to your country raided, and you are with large numbers and backbone and prowess. What is the matter with you all? For Allah-azwj’s Sake! Where are you coming from? And what is the matter with you being spell-bound? And why are you being deluded? And if you are not determined and united, you will not be craving (the battle). Indeed! The (enemy) people have gathered, and are contesting, and advising, while you have folded, and cheated, and separated. You are not going to complete this with me-asws with rescuing, so end from what you have been forbidden and unite upon your rights, and free yourselves to battle your enemies. The frothiness has been blown away from the candle and the morning has appeared to the ones with two eyes. But rather, you are fighting the freed slave (at the conquest of Makkah) and sons of the freed slaves, and people of aversion, and the ones who became Muslims unwillingly. For Rasool-Allah-saww there was honour of, all of it in warring enemies of Allah-azwj, and the Sunnah, and the Quran, and people of innovations, and the new matters, and the one whose harm was feared. And there was fear upon and its people, and consuming the bribes, and worshipping the world, and it has ended to me that Ibn Al-Nabigha did not pledge allegiance to Muawiya until he gave him, and stipulated to him that he would give him which is larger than what was in his hand from this own authority. Indeed! The hand of this seller exchanged his religion for his world, and the integrity of this buyer was disgraced by his helping a mischief-maker, a betrayer with the wealth of the Muslims, and among them is one had drunk the wine and was whipped the legal penalty, well-known with the corruption in the religion and the evil deeds, and among them is one who did not become a Muslim until they were consigned for him a consignment upon. So, they are the leaders of the people, and the one who avoids mentioning the evil deeds of their leaders is like the one I-asws mentioned from them, but he is more evil than them, and
