Pearl of Wisdom
'When Allah allowed [ProphetJ Moses son of Am ran (AS) to converse with Him, Moses (AS) asked, my God, what is the reward of one who maintains relations with his kin?' He replied, ?O Moses, I delay the appointed time of his death, and ease the pangs and agonies of death for him.'
Imam Ali ibn Muhammad al-Hadi [as] Amali al-Saduq, p. 276, no. 307

While leaving Madina for Basra |
|
Letter 57 While leaving Madina for Basra, Imam Ali (a) wrote the following letter to the people of Kufa. It is a wonderful epistle. It invites people to judge his intentions and actions.
After glorifying Allah and praising the Holy Prophet (s) let it be known to you that I am leaving this city either as an oppressor or oppressed, either I am revolting against the people or some of them have conspired to revolt against the people or against me. Whatever the case may be I invite in the Name of Allah those to whom this letter reaches, to come and see for themselves whether I am in the right or on the wrong. If they find me on the path of truth and justice they may help me and if they find that I am on the wrong then they can reason me out of it.
