Letter  42                                                    				           	  		A letter which Imam Ali (a) wrote to Umar bin Abi  Salama Mukhzumi 
 
 After glorifying Allah and praising the  Holy Prophet (s) let it be known to you that I have appointed Nu'man as  the Governor of the province of Bahrain and have removed you from the  post not because I was dissatisfied with your work or there was any  charge against you. Undoubtedly you have discharged your duties  satisfactorily and have done full justice to the trust reposed in you. I  am quite satisfied with your work and I neither doubt your honesty nor  do I consider you to be inefficient and blameworthy.  Come to me immediately. The fact is that I have resolved to face the  Syrian tyrants and oppressors and I want you to be with me because you  are one of those men whom I can trust to help me in facing the enemies  of Allah and in the establishment of the Islamic State. 
 The following is a letter which Imam Ali (a) wrote to Umar  bin Abi Salama Mukhzumi when Imam Ali (a) called him back from the  Governorship of Bahrain and appointed Nu'man bin Ajlan Zuraqi in his  place.
