Mu'awiya dispatched [[Nu'man ibn Bashir]] with 2,000 troops to raid the garrison of [[Ayn Al-Tamr]], which was stationed by Malik ibn Ka'b Al-Arabi and his men. Ali asked the Kufans to respond to their assault, but their slow response prompted Ali to encourage the Kufans in a sermon to retaliate against the Syrians. Following this, [[Adi ibn Hatim]] went to Ali, offering 1,000 troops at his disposal. Adi, along with his 1,000 troops, under orders from Ali, went to al-Nukhayla and then from there, raided Syrian territory while moving along the Euphrates River.{{sfnp|Madelung|1997|p=}}{{pn|date=January 2026}}{{Cite web |title=Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books |url=https://www.shiavault.com/books/biography-of-imam-ali-ibn-abi-talib/chapters/101-the-aggressive-attacks-of-the-syrians/ |access-date=2025-06-14 |website=www.shiavault.com}}{{Citation |title=The Events of the Year 39 (659/660) |date=2015-06-17 |work=The History of al-Ṭabarī Vol. 17 |pages=198–205 |url=https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/9781438406206-007/html |access-date=2025-06-14 |publisher=SUNY Press |language=en |doi=10.1515/9781438406206-007 |isbn=978-1-4384-0620-6|url-access=subscription }}
