Instructions to two of his commanders

Pearl of Wisdom

Allah, most attained free will , and with the help of My favour, you perform your obligations towards Me, and with My power you feel empowered to disobey Me. I created you with sight and hearing, so I deserve more credit for your good deeds than you, while you are to blame for your own misdeeds.'

Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha [as]

Ibid. p. 4, no. 3, and p. 56, no. 99, p. 57, no. 104

Instructions to two of his commanders

Letter 13 Instructions to two of his commanders

I have appointed Malik bin Harith as chief of the staff over you and the armies under you. Take your orders from him and obey him. Treat him as if he is your shield and armour because there is no risk of laziness or lethargy from him, nor of nervousness and blunders nor of any error of commission and omission.
