و من كتاب له (عليه السلام) إلي عمر بن أبي سلمة المخزومي و كان عامله علي البحرين، فعزله، و استعمل نعمان بن عجلان الزّرقي مكانه

أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي قَدْ وَلَّيْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ الزُّرَقِيَّ عَلَي الْبَحْرَيْنِ وَ نَزَعْتُ يَدَكَ بِلَا ذَمٍّ لَكَ وَ لَا تَثْرِيبٍ عَلَيْكَ فَلَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ الْوِلَايَةَ وَ أَدَّيْتَ الْأَمَانَةَ فَأَقْبِلْ غَيْرَ ظَنِينٍ وَ لَا مَلُومٍ وَ لَا مُتَّهَمٍ وَ لَا مَأْثُومٍ فَلَقَدْ أَرَدْتُ الْمَسِيرَ إِلَي ظَلَمَةِ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ وَ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ مَعِي فَإِنَّكَ مِمَّنْ أَسْتَظْهِرُ بِهِ عَلَي جِهَادِ الْعَدُوِّ وَ إِقَامَةِ عَمُودِ الدِّينِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّه ُ.

Now, I have posted al-Numan ibn Ajlan al-Zuraqi at Bahrain and have released you from that position without anything bad from you nor reproach on you, because you managed the governorship well and discharged the obligations. Therefore, proceed to me when to me when you are neither suspected nor rebuked, neither blamed nor guilty. I have just intended to proceed towards the recalitrant of Syria and desired that you should be with me because you are among those on whom I rely in fighting the enemy and erecting the pillars of religion, if Allah wills.
