و درود خدا بر او فرمود: (به فرزندش امام مجتبی (ع) فرمود:) کسی را به پیکار دعوت نکن، اما اگر تو را به نبرد خواندند بپذیر، زیرا آغازگر پیکار… Aamir al-Mu'minin, said to his son al-Hasan, peace be upon them both: Do not call out for fighting, but if you are called to it do…

وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام): لِابْنِهِ الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) لَا تَدْعُوَنَّ إِلَي مُبَارَزَةٍ وَ إِنْ دُعِيتَ إِلَيْهَا فَأَجِبْ فَإِنَّ الدَّاعِيَ إِلَيْهَا بَاغٍ وَ الْبَاغِيَ مَصْرُوعٌ

Aamir al-Mu'minin, said to his son al-Hasan, peace be upon them both: Do not call out for fighting, but if you are called to it do respond, because the caler to figting is a rebel and the rebel deserves destruction.
