You are raided on but you don’t raid, you are invaded but don’t invade.

You are raided on but you don’t raid, you are invaded but don’t invade. Allah is being disobeyed and you remain agreeable to it. When I order you to make a raid on them in summer you say it is hot weather. Respite us till heat subsides from it.

When I order you to march in winter you say it is severely cold; give us time till cold clears from us All this are just execuses to flee from heat and cold so you from sword flee more quickly, by Allah, semi-men not men, your intelligence is that of children and your wit is that of women. I wish I have not seen you nor known you. By Allah, this acquaintance has brought about regret and resulted in distress. May Allah fight you!

You have filled my bosom with rage and counteracted my plans by disobeying and deserting me so much so that Quraysh started saying that the son of Abi Talib is brave but does not know (the tactics of) war. May Allah orphan them is there anyone more stubborne in war and older in practicing it than I? I undertook it as I hadn’t reached twenty yet, and here I am, exceding sixty, but one who is not obeyed has no opinion.

Even If I Strike Him With My Sword Even if I strike the nose of a believer with this, my sword for hating me he does not hate me, and even if I pour out all the riches of this world in the lap of a hypocrite to love me he doesn’t love me. Will There Be Talk Without Action Rebuking his dissuasive companions: O’ people, your bodies are together but your desires are divergent. Your talk softens hard-stoned mountains and your action tempts your enemy into you.

If one calls you the call rece-ives no heed. And he who sufferes from you his heart has no solace. Which dewelling after your dwelling do you protect and with which Imam after me would you go for fighting? By Allah, really deceived is the one whom you deceive while, by Allah, he who won you had won the most abortive lot. By Allah, I am now in a position that I neither believe in your speech nor hope for your support, not threaten the enemy with you. What is the matter with you?

What is your treatment? What is your cure? The other party are also men like you. Will there be speech without action, carelessness without piety and a baseless hope? I Don’t Improve You By Corrupting Myself From a speech admonishing his companions too: How much do I deal with you smoothly such as old worn clothes are dealt with, as they when sewed from one side get torn from the other.
