During the battle of Siffin Amir al-mu'minin heard some of his men abusing the Syrians, then he said:

Pearl of Wisdom

'Hypocrites have signs through which they are known: their greeting is cursing, their food is greed [gluttony], their earnings are through breaches of trust, they do not come close to the mosques save with contempt, they fulfil their prayers at the very last moment, [they are] haughty people who do not socialize and are not sociable, they are as wood in the night, loud in the day.'

Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa]

Ibid. no. 862

Sermon 205 During the battle of Siffin Amir al-mu'minin heard some of his men abusing the Syrians, then he said:

I dislike you starting to abuse them, but if you describe their deeds and recount their situations that would be a better mode of speaking and a more convincing way of arguing. Instead of abusing them you should say, "O' Allah! save our blood and their blood, produce reconciliation between us and them, and lead them out of their misguidance so that he who is ignorant of the truth may know it, and he who inclines towards rebellion and revolt may turn away from it."
