Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Role of Aishah in the History of Islam (volume Three) Jariyah Ibn Qudamah a Man of the Alawite Front Do not fight a person who does not fight you, and do not oppress the Jews and Christians who have made a pact with the Muslims. Imam 'Ali Now we should see what Imam 'Ali did against these unmanly raids and bloody assaults of Busr, the commander of Mu'awiyah's army.
As usual he stood up against wrong and injustice and asked the people's aid to remove these agents of tyranny and oppression. The Kufans as usual received his order coldly, as if they had no wish to defend their realm, which was exposed to destruction; as if the dust of death was scattered over their city. The painful outcries of Imam 'Ali echoed in the mosque and city of Kufah, but it could not awaken the motionless and dead spirits of the Kufans.
Some time passed until one of the remaining heirs of Islam's warriors, named Jariyah ibn Qudamah, rose and responded positively to the call of the Imam. According to al-Ya'qubi, the Imam issued the following order on dispatching him on this mission: "Never fight a person who does not fight you. Never kill a wounded person. Even if you and your men are forced to go on foot, never seize people's horses forcefully.
In inhabited places and springs never take the lead over the owners of water, and consume only their extra supply of water, even then, with their approval. Never abuse or reproach a Muslim, since in such a case it would be necessary for others to admonish you.
Never oppress the followers of divine books who have made pacts with the Muslims." Another part of this order states: "Do not shed anyone's blood except where you are ordered by God, in the same way that your duty is to protect people's blood for the sake of God."(176) In the book of al-Gharat we read the following about the defensive battles of Jariyah: Jariyah left Kufah and at first he went to Basra, and from there he went towards Hejaz, and advanced until he reached Yemen.
At this time Busr learnt of the move made by Jariyah. So he changed his route and went to al-Yamamah. Jariyah increased his speed and did not stand long at any town or the amp they set up. He was in pursuit of Busr everywhere, while Busr continued to flee in different directions, until he crossed over the border of the Imam's realm. When the people saw him in flight, they attacked him from every side, since they had been much oppressed by him.
