Jarir bin Abdullah Bajali was sent to Damascus

Pearl of Wisdom

to Fadl b. Yunus said, 'Do good and speak only good, and do not be an opportunist.' I asked, 'What does it mean to be an opportunist?' He said, 'Do not say: I am with the people and I am one of the people.'' The Prophet (SAWA) said, ?O people, there are two paths: the path of good and the path of evil, so the path of evil should not be more loved by you than the path of good.'

Imam Musa ibn Jafar al-Kadhim [as]

Tuhaf al-'Uqul, p. 413

Jarir bin Abdullah Bajali was sent to Damascus

Letter 8 Jarir bin Abdullah Bajali was sent to Damascus. He was carrying a letter for Mu'awiya. Some delay occurred in his return. Imam Ali (a) felt anxious about his safety and wrote the following letter to him

After praising Allah and the Holy Prophet (s) I want to advise you that as soon as you receive this letter of mine, force Mu'awiya for a reply to my letter written to him. Compel him to come to a decision and to give a final reply. He must decide between two things. Either war or obedience. If it is going to be a war then I shall get ready to fight against him, and if it is going to be peace then you must make him swear the oath of allegiance to me and then you must return.
