[Machine] When Ali arrived in Basra, he sent a message to him and said, "What prevents you from following me?" He replied, "My friend and your cousin advised me, saying that there will be division and dispute. So break your sword and take a wooden sword, and stay in your house until a wrongdoer or a corrupt judge comes to you." I did as the Messenger of Allah ordered me. So, if you can, Ali, avoid being that wrongdoer.  

أَنَّ عَلِيًّا لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْبَصْرَةَ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَتْبَعَنِي؟ فَقَالَ أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي وَابْنُ عَمِّكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فُرْقَةٌ وَاخْتِلَافٌ فَاكْسِرْ سَيْفَكَ وَاتَّخِذْ سَيْفًا مِنْ خَشَبٍ وَاقْعُدْ فِي بَيْتِكَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَكَ يَدٌ خَاطِئَةٌ أَوْ مَنِيَّةٌ قَاضِيَةٌ فَفَعَلْتُ مَا أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنْ اسْتَطَعْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْ لَا تَكُونَ تِلْكَ الْيَدَ الْخَاطِئَةَ فَافْعَلْ
