از نامه آن حضرت (ع) به زياد بن ابيه، معاويه نامه اى به زياد نوشته تا او را بفريبد و در نسب به خود ملحق سازد:
دانستم كه معاويه نامه اى به تو نوشته و مى خواهد پاى عقلت را بلغزاند و عزمت را سست گرداند. از معاويه بر حذر باش كه او شيطان است و از او روبرو و پشت سر و راست و چپ نزد آدمى مى آيد تا به هنگام غفلت فرصت يافته مقهورش سازد و عقلش را بربايد. از ابو سفيان در مجلس عمر، سخن ناسنجيده اى سر زد كه سبب آن هواى نفس و وسوسه هاى شيطان بود. به آن ادعا نه نسبى ثابت مى شود و نه كسى سزاوار ميراث مى گردد و كسى كه بدان دل بندد، چونان كسى است كه ناخوانده به بزم شرابخواران در آيد و پيوسته از آن جمع برانندش، يا مانند كاسه اى چو بينى است كه به پالان شتر مى آويزند كه در يك جاى قرار نگيرد و ثبات نيابد.
چون زياد اين نامه برخواند، گفت: سوگند به خداى كعبه كه به برادرى من با معاويه شهادت داد. و اين خيال پيوسته در سر او بود تا آن گاه كه معاويه او را برادر خود خواند.
سید رضی گوید: سخن حضرت (ع) «الواغل» كسى است كه به بزم شرابخواران هجوم مى آورد تا با ايشان شراب خورد و آنان پى در پى او را از خود مى رانند. «النّوط المذبذب»، پياله يا كاسه يا چيزى شبيه به آن است كه به پالان شتر مى بندند و هر گاه شتر تند مى راند، مى جنبد و به يك جاى قرار ندارد.
[ Ziyad was the son of a slave named Ubayd, his mother was Sumaiyya, a slave-girl of Haarith bin Kalda, a woman of flexible virtues and very elastic conscience. But Ziyad grew up to be an intelligent man and a very good orator. Everybody knew that Ziyad was born out of wedlock. Umar during his caliphate, did not give him any chance but later on he became a governor and Imam Ali (a) had allowed him to retain that post. When Mu’awiya came to power, he started corresponding secretly with Ziyad, inviting him to leave the side of Imam Ali (a) and to join him, offering him the bribe of being declared the son of Abu Sufyan. When Imam Ali (a) came to know of these secret messages he wrote the following letter to Ziyad. ]
I am given to understand that Mu’awiya has been corresponding with you. Beware, he wants to make a fool of you, to blunt your intelligence and to harm your self-respect. Remember that it is Satan which will attack an imprudent and incautious Muslim from behind and from right and left so that finding him unwary and unwatchful, it may overpower him and may enslave his reasoning. The fact is that during the Caliphate of Caliph Umar, Abu Sufyan unwisely gave utterances to something which was unjustifiable and unreasonable. It was one of those evil suggestions of Satan which are not only an insult to a self-respecting man but which cannot help in proving the descent (according to the laws of Islam) or in legalizing the heritage. The condition of a man claiming such a lineage is that of a gate crasher in a party from which he may be thrown out with humiliation.
