When Amir al-mu'minin's men showed impatience on his delay in giving them permission to fight in Siffin

Pearl of Wisdom

'Verily Allah's greatest Name is composed of seventy-three letters, of which Asaf [b. Barkhiyya] had but one, with the utterance of which he caused the earth between himself and Bilqis 's throne to sink until he got hold of the throne, and after which [he caused] the earth to return to its former state faster than the blink of an eye. And we [the Ahl al-Bayt] have seventy-two letters from the greatest Name, and Allah, Blessed and most High, has exclusive possession of one letter of it with Him in His knowledge of the Unseen.'

Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir [as]

Bihar al-Anwar, v. 14, p.. 113, no. 5

When Amir al-mu'minin's men showed impatience on his delay in giving them permission to fight in Siffin

Sermon 54 When Amir al-mu'minin's men showed impatience on his delay in giving them permission to fight in Siffin , he said:

Well, as for your idea whether this (delay) is due to my unwillingness for death, then by Allah I do not care whether I proceed towards death or death advances towards me. As for your impression that it may be due to my misgivings about the people of Syria (ash-Sham) ,well by Allah, I did not put off war even for a day except in the hope that some group may join me, find guidance through me and see my light with their weak eyes. This is dearer to me than to kill them in the state of their misguidance although they would be bearing their own sins.
