In Al-Mahasin- that is “Al-Tabsera”- it is narrated that Imam Ali (a.s) said
“God's Prophet (a.s) sent me to Yemen and told me: “O' Ali! Do not fight with anyone, and invite the people to God. If only one man is guided by God by the means of either you or me, it is better than whatever the sun has risen on or set on.”
من كتاب المحاسن - وهو كتاب التبصرة - عن علي (عليه السلام) قال: بعثني رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) إلى اليمن، فقال: يا علي، لا تقاتل أحدا حتى تدعوه إلى الله، لأن يهدي الله على يديك رجلا خير مما طلعت عليه الشمس أو غربت.
