1. Convey to Yazid ibn Shiban a message
Armies cannot be defeated by books
١. أَبلِغ يَزيدَ بِني شيبانَ مَألُكَةً
إِنَّ الكَتائِبَ لا يُهزَمنَ بِالكُتِبِ
2. Threatening the unseen is a miracle
If you want to fight the people, get close
٢. إِنَّ الوَعيدَ بِظَهرِ الغَيبِ مَعجِزَةٌ
فَإِن أَرَدتَ قِتالَ القَومِ فَاِقتَرِبِ
