كَانَ فِي وَصِيَّةِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لِعَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «يَا عَلِيُّ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ مَدِينَةً أَوْ قَرْيَةً فَقُلْ حِينَ تُعَايِنُهَا: اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا اَللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْنَا إِلَى أَهْلِهَا وَ حَبِّبْ صَالِحِي أَهْلِهَا إِلَيْنَا ».
In the will of the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family) to Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s), he said: "O Ali, when you approach a city or village, say as you behold it: 'O Allah (swt), I ask You for its goodness, and I seek refuge in You from its evil. O Allah (swt), make us beloved to its people, and make its righteous inhabitants beloved to us.'"
