3ـ رُويَ أنّ داوودَ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) خَرَجَ مُصحِرا مُنفَرِدا، فأوحَى اللّهُ إلَيهِ: يا داوودُ، مالِي أراكَ وَحدانِيّا ؟ فقالَ: إلهي اشتَدَّ الشَّوقُ مِنّي إلى لِقائكَ، وحالَ بَيني وبَينَ خَلقِكَ، فأوحَى اللّهُ إلَيهِ: اِرجِعْ إلَيهِم ؛ فإنّكَ إنتَأتِني بِعَبدٍ آبِقٍ اُثْبِتْكَ في اللَّوحِ حَميداً. |
| 3– It is narrated in Bihar al-Anwar: ‘Prophet David (AS) left for the desert by himself, so Allah revealed to him, ‘O David, why is it that I see you by yourself?’ He said, ‘O Allah, my yearning for meeting You has become extreme, and has become an obstruction between me and Your creation.’ So, Allah revealed to him, ‘Return to them, for if you bring me a runaway servant I will inscribe you in the Tablet as praised.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 14, p. 40, no. 25] |

4ـ رسولُ اللهِِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) ـ لعليٍّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) لَمّا بَعَثَهُ إلَى اليَمَنِ ـ: يا عليُّ، لا تُقاتِلَنَّ أحَداً حتّى تَدعُوَهُ، وايمُ اللّهِ لَأن يَهدي اللّهُ على يَدَيكَ رجُلاً خَيرٌ لَكَ مِمّا طَلَعَت علَيهِ الشَّمسُ وغَرَبَت، ولَكَ وَلاؤهُ يا عليُّ. |
| 4– The Prophet (SAWA) said to Imam Ali (AS) when he sent him to Yemen, ‘O Ali, do not fight anyone without [first] inviting them [to Islam]. By Allah, that Allah should guide a person through your hands is better for you than everything that the sun rises and sets on, and you will have his allegiance, O Ali.’[al-Kafi, v. 5, p. 28, no. 4] |

5ـ رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) ـ لرجُلٍ سألَهُ أن يُوصِيَهُ ـ: اُوصِيكَ أن لا تُشرِكَ باللّهِ شَيئا ... وادْعُ النّاسَ إلَى الإسلامِ، واعلَمْ أنّ لكَ بكُلِّ مَن أجابَكَ عِتقَ رَقَبَةٍ مِن وُلدِ يَعقوبَ. |
| 5– The Prophet (SAWA) said to a person asking him for advice, ‘I advise you not to associate anything with Allah….and call people to Islam, and know that for every person that is guided by you, you will get the reward of having freed a slave from the offspring of Jacob.’[Wasael al-Shi`aah , v. 11, p. 448, no. 5] |
