hadith 4418
The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Befriend people, give them time, and do not raid them unless you first call them [to Islam]. For you to call all the people of the earth, those who live in houses and those who live in tents, to Islam is dearer to me than for you to bring me their womenfolk and children [as captives], and to kill their men.
رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : تَألَّفوا النّاسَ ، وتَأنَّوهُم ، ولا تُغيروا علَيهِم حتّى تَدْعُوهُم ، فمَا على الأرضِ مِن أهلِ بَيتِ مَدَرٍ ولا وَبَرٍ إلّا تَأتوني بِهم مسلِمينَ أحَبُّ إلَيَّ مِن أنْ تَأتوني بنِسائِهم وأوْلادِهِم وتَقْتُلوا رِجالَهُم .

hadith 4419
Imam Ali (AS) said at Siffin, ‘By Allah I did not postpone the war even for one day unless if I hoped a group of people would join me to be guided by me and repose in my light, and I love that more than killing them for their [choosing to remain in] error.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في صِفّينَ ـ : فواللّهِ ما دَفَعْتُ الحَربَ يَوماً إلّا وأنا أطْمَعُ أنْ تَلْحَقَ بي طائفَةٌ فتَهْتَدي بِي، وتَعْشُو إلى ضَوْئي، وذلكَ أحَبُّ إلَيَّ مِن أنْ أقْتُلَها عَلى ضَلالِها.
