(From a speech of Amir ul-Momineen -asws when he -asws determined the journey to Syria for fighting Muawiya Bin Abu Sufyan) Fear Allah azwj , (O) servants of Allah azwj , and be mobilised upon the Jihad along with your Imam asws , so if there would be a group with me asws of the number of the people of Badr (313), whenever I asws order them they would obey me asws , and whenever I asws tell them to get up, they would get up with me asws , I asws would be needless with them away from most of you, and I asws shall hasten to war against Muawiya and his companion, for the Jihad is the Obligation’’.

Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Barqy, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Bashir Al Dahhan, from Kamil Al Tammar who said, ‘Abu Ja’far asws said: ‘ [23:1] Successful indeed are the Believers . ‘Abu Ja’far asws said: ‘ [23:1] Successful indeed are the Believers . Do you know who they are?’ I said, ‘You asws are more knowing’. He asws said: ‘Successful indeed are the Momineen – the submitters.

Surely, the submitters are the excellent ones, but a Momin is a ‘غَرِيبٌ’ stranger/foreigner (wherever he lives) and foreigners are successful (in the Hereafter)’.
