A letter to one of the commanders of his(Imam Ali) army.
"If our enemies agree to obey us, it will be as I
desire, but if they adamantly insist upon dissension and revolt, then be
ready to fight against them with the help of your faithful followers.
Trust those who have proved themselves faithful. Do not trust and do not
count upon the help of those who have proved faithless and disloyal.
Remember that the absence of those who do not join us willingly and
sincerely is better than their presence in our ranks, and their
inactivity and lethargy is better than their participation in our
activities."
