Shurayh warned Abu Musa for his lack of sagacity. He told him that if the outcome of the arbitration is the [[caliphate]] of Imam 'Ali (a), then people of Syria would be safe, but if it is the dominance of Mu'awiya over Iraq, then people of Iraq would be in danger.<ref>Naṣr b. Muzāḥim, ''Waqʿat ṣiffīn'', p. 534.</ref> Shurayh said: "O Abu Musa! You are facing the worst rival. Do not let Iraq down! Never entitle Syria [in this dispute] and never take their side! Do not let 'Amr deceive you! He has various tricks in his hand that is astonishing and he has gilded them all with decorations. So, do not treat Mu'awiya as a senior, and an unrivaled, flawless leader!"<ref>Naṣr b. Muzāḥim, ''Waqʿat ṣiffīn'', p. 534-535.</ref> [[Ahnaf b. Qays]] took Abu Musa's hand and told him: "O Abu Musa! Be aware of the significance of this task and its consequences. If you destroy Iraq, there will never be any Iraq." He even suggested Abu Musa not to begin greetings, handshakes, and the like in his encounters with 'Amr b. al-'As. Ahnaf told him: " | Shurayh warned Abu Musa for his lack of sagacity.
