When Amir al-mu'minin decided to march towards Syria (ash-Sham) he spoke these words:

Pearl of Wisdom

'Allah Almighty will say on the Day of Resurrection, ?O son of Adam, I became sick and you did not visit Me!' and he will ask, ?O Lord, how can I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds?' He Almighty will say, 'Did you not know that My servant so and so became sick and you did not visit him?! Did you not know that if you had visited him you would have found Me there with him [visiting a sick person is as visiting Allah]?!'

Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa]

al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib, v. 4, p. 317, no. 3

When Amir al-mu'minin decided to march towards Syria (ash-Sham) he spoke these words:

Sermon 46 When Amir al-mu'minin decided to march towards Syria (ash-Sham) he spoke these words:

My Allah, I seek Thy protection from the hardships of journey, from the grief of returning and from the scene of devastation of property and men. O' Allah, Thou art the companion in journey and Thou art one who is left behind for (protection of the) family. None except Thee can join these two because one who is left behind cannot be a companion in journey nor one who is in company on a journey can at the same time be left behind.

as-Sayyid ar-Radi says: The earlier part of this sermon is related from the Prophet but Amir al-mu'minin has completed it very aptly by adding most eloquent sentences at the end. This addition is from "None except Thee can join" upto the end.
