Imam Ali (AS) said, If something happens between you and your enemy, which leads you to a truce and the enacting of a peace treaty, then preserve your pact with loyalty and guard your pledge with trust, and make your soul a shield between you and that which you have pledged.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنْ وَقَعَتْ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ عَدُوِّكَ قِصَّةٌ عَقَدْتَ بِها صُلْحاً وَ ألبَسْتَهُ بِها ذِمَّةً فَحُطْ عَهْدَكَ بِالوَفاءِ وَ ارْعَ ذِمَّتَكَ بِالأمانَةِ وَ اجْعَلْ نَفْسَكَ جُنَّةً بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ ما أعْطَيْتَ مِنْ عَهْدِكَ
