Now, then, O folks! You are like the pregnant woman who, on completion of the period of pregnancy delivers a dead child and her husband is also dead and her period of widowhood is long while only remote relationship inherits her. By Allah, I did not come to you of my own accord. I came to you by force of circumstances. I have come to know that you say Ali speaks lies. May Allah fight you! Against whom do I speak lies? Against Allah? But I am the first to have believed in Him. Against His Prophet (p.b.u.h.)? But I am the first who testified to him. Certainly not. By Allah it was a way of expression which failed to appreciate and you were not capable of it. Woe unto you. I am giving out these measures of nice expression free of any cost. I wish there were vessels good enough to hold them.
“Certainly, you will understand it after some time.” (Holy Qur’an, 38: 88)
