Abstract
Ibn al-Amid's letter to Ibn Balka is one of the most famous letters in history, leading to the end of rebellion and disobedience by means of the pen and the word before the sword, armies, and blood. It was based on stylistic elements and cultures that characterized the style of Ibn al-Amid and his school in expanding the use of rhetoric, short sentences, rhyme, and balance with an artistic rhetorical character that had an impact on the correspondence after him among writers to the school of al-Qadi al-Fadil (569 AH).
Opposition means the confrontation between two things that are similar, different, or contradictory. It is broader than antithesis and contrast, and its eloquence brings them together, in addition to what we find of argumentation, shifting, diversity in the discourse, and its change according to the objective and psychological state required by the encouragement of obedience and its results.
The intimidation of disobedience and its consequences between the previous status of rebellion before the guardianship and during the guardianship and what his condition will become if he continued to rebel and disobey the authority, and this is what was confirmed by the objective balance between the units of encouragement and intimidation.
