hadith 6205
Imam Ali (AS) said, Struggling against the enemies in their dominions and fighting against them despite their power is abandoning the command of Allah and exposing oneself to the tribulations of this world.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : مُجاهَدَةُ الأعْداءِ في دَوْلَتِهِمْ وَ مُناضَلَتُهُمْ مَعَ قُدْرَتِهِمْ تَرْكٌ لأمْرِ اللّهِ وَتَعَرُّضٌ لِبَلاءِ الدُّنيا

hadith 6209
Imam Ali (AS) said, Do not confront your enemy while he is charging towards you, for indeed his charge will aid him to overcome you and do not confront him when he is fleeing away from you, for indeed his flight is sufficient for you in dealing with him.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : لاتَعَرَّضْ لِعَدُوِّكَ وَ هُوَ مُقْبِلٌ فَإنَّ إقْبالَهُ يُعْينُهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ لاتَعَرَّضْ لَهُ وَ هُوَ مُدْبِرٌ فَإنَّ إدْبارَهُ يَكْفيكَ أمْرُهُ

hadith 6224
Imam Ali (AS) said, Reforming [and reconciliation with] the enemies through good words and beautiful actions is easier than facing them and combating them with the torment of battle.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اَلاِسْتِصْلاحُ لِلأعْداءِ بِحُسْنِ المَقالِ وَ جَمِيلِ الأفْعالِ أهْوَنُ مِنْ مُلاقاتِهِمْ وَ مُغالَبَتِهِمْ بِمَضِيْضِ القِتالِ
