in his will to his son after he had been struck by Ibn Muljam, 'Know that Mu'awiya will oppose you just as he opposed me, and in conciliating and making peace with him, you will be following in the footsteps of your grandfather (AS) when he conciliated with the Bani Qamra and the Bani Ashja' tribes ... and if instead you wish to fight your enemy, know that you will not find any from among your followers who will be loyal to you anymore than those loyal to your father.'
