And the Book and the Sunnah (would have been shared by the people) just as I -asws have found today.’ [3] \n The narrator of the Hadith has said: \u2018When Ali -asws met the enemies on the day of Battle of Al-Jamal, Siffeen, and Al-Nahrwaan, he -asws turned towards the Qiblah (Kabah) whilst on his -asws grey mule (which was a mule similar to that of Rasool-Allah -saww ) and he -asws said: \u2018Our Allah -azwj !

The hands are extended towards You -azwj , and the eyes are raised, and the hearts are opened up, and the feet have stepped ahead (towards You -azwj ). Our Lord -azwj ! Grant victory to us and to our people by the truth, and You -azwj are the best in Granting victory\u2019, and he -asws had his -asws hands raised, and his -asws companions responded by saying \u2018Ameen\u2019. [4] \n A Deceptive letter of Muawiya to Amir-ul-Momineen -asws \n The Syrian was losing and ran away.

When Muawiya heard, he was overcome with panic. He called Amro Bin Al-A\u2019as and said, \u2018O Amro, this is the night before he -asws attacks us, so what do you see?\u2019 He said, \u2018I see that our men have been killed, that those that remain will not be able to stand up to Ali\u2019s -asws men and that you are not like Ali -asws .

He -asws is fighting you based upon the Command and you are fighting him -asws over something else, and you intend to keep what you have whereas he -asws intends for you to lose all of this. The people of Syria do not fear his -asws victory as much as the people of Iraq fear your victory over them. (So, in my opinion), propose to them a deal that they have to accept. Call them to the Book of Allah -azwj , and raise the Qurans upon spears, so you will achieve your needs.

I have been thinking and refining this idea for you\u2019. Muawiya understood and said, \u2018You have spoken the truth, but I think I can deceive Ali -asws . Amro laughed and said, \u2018O Muawiya, you want to deceive Ali -asws ?\u2019. \n \u2018So Muawiya wrote a letter to Ali -asws which said, \u2018If only you -asws (and I) had known that the battle would reach this stage- that one of us would not be able to overcome the other, even if the intellect of one of us may be greater.

But what has passed has passed and we should put right what remains. I asked you for Syria on the condition that it would not require obedience to you nor allegiance. You refused but Allah -azwj Gave it to me when you -asws had not.
