Pearl of Wisdom
'And He made obligatory for you the pilgrimage to His Sacred House which he made the 'qibla' for all people. They come to it like the cattle coming to water, and eagerly turn to it like the birds eagerly returning to their nest; He, glory be to Him, made it a sign of their humility before His greatness and their yielding to His Might.?
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Nahj al-Baldgha, Sermon 1

Letter 2 After the conquest of Basra Imam Ali (a) wrote the following letter to the citizens of Kufa.
O' Citizens of Kufa! May the Merciful Lord reward you on His behalf and on behalf of the Ahlul Bayt (Progeny of the Holy Prophet) (a) for obeying their orders and coming to their help. May He reward you more handsomely than He rewards those who obey His commands (because you followed the true path against very heavy odds and in spite of alluring enticements). You have done your duty. You heard the call of your Amir, responded to it; he called you and you obeyed his orders with zeal and enthusiasm.
