جواب نامه ابوموسی اشعری، پیرامون حكمیّت، كه سعید بن یحیی اموی، در كتاب المغازی آن را آورده است.
همانا بسیاری از مردم تغییر كردند و از سعادت و رستگاری بی‌بهره ماندند، به دنیاپرستی روی آورده، و از روی هوای نفس سخن گفتند. كردار اهل عراق مرا به شگفتی وا داشته است، كه مردمی خودپسند در چیزی گرد آمدند، می‌خواستم زخم درون آنها را مداوا كنم، پیش از آن كه غیرقابل علاج گردد. پس بدان در امّت اسلام، هیچ كس همانند من وجود ندارد كه به وحدت امّت محمّد (ص) و به انس گرفتن آنان به همدیگر، از من دلسوزتر باشد. من در این كار پاداش نیك و سرانجام شایسته را از خدا می‌طلبم، و به آنچه پیمان بستم وفا دارم، هرچند تو دگرگون شده، و همانند روزی كه از من جدا شدی نباشی. همانا تیره روز، كسی است كه از عقل و تجربه ای كه نصیب او شده، محروم ماند، و من از آن كس كه به باطل سخن گوید یا كاری را كه خدا اصلاح كرده بر هم زند، بیزارم. آنچه را نمی دانی واگذار، زیرا مردان بدكردار، با سخنانی نادرست به سوی تو خواهند شتافت، با درود.
[ Abu Musa Ash’ari (Abdullah bin Qays) wrote a letter to Imam Ali (a) from the place where decision of the arbitration took place. Imam Ali (a) wrote to him the following letter in reply. Sayyid bin Yahya Amawi has quoted this letter in his book Al-Maghazi. ]
Verily there are many people in this world who have forsaken their salvation and in its place they have accepted the pomp and pleasure of worldly life. They are being driven by their unruly and inordinate desires and they work and speak on behalf of these desires only. This affair has placed me in an awkward position. The people, who have united against me are those who want everything out of this vicious and wicked world for themselves and for their pleasures. They have drawn their swords against me. I am trying to undo the harm they have done but I am afraid lest the problem should become very serious and unresolvable. You know very well that no one is more desirous of the Unity of Muslims than I and the only thing which I want to achieve by this unity is the Blessings of Allah and my salvation. I shall do what I have resolved to do even though you change the good opinion which you had about me when we last parted. Surely, unfortunate is he who possesses wisdom and acquires experience and yet does not care to make use of either. I cannot tolerate lies and I cannot bear to see people undoing the good done by Allah through Islam. Therefore you should give up forming opinion about things which you have not clearly understood or visualized because many people will try their best to influence you with their insinuations.
