Regarding az-Zubayr's Allegiance"He asserts that he swore allegiance to me with his hand but did not swear with his heart. So he does admit allegiance. As regards his claiming it otherwise than with his heart, he should come forward with a clear argument for it. Otherwise, he should return to wherefrom he has gone out."

They (1) have made Satan the master of their affairs, and he has taken them as partners. He has laid eggs and hatched them in their bosoms. He creeps and crawls in their laps. He sees through their eyes, and speaks with their tongues. In this way he has led them to sinfulness and adorned for them foul things like the action of one whom Satan has made partner in his domain and speaks untruth through his tongue.

Sermon 6: On Pursuing Talhah and az-Zubayr"By Allah, I shall not be like the badger that feigns sleep amidst the ceaseless pelting of stones until the seeker finds it or the watcher overpowers it. Nay, I shall ever strike those who deviate from the truth with the aid of those who advance toward it, and the sinners and doubters with the support of those who heed and obey me, until my appointed day arrives. By Allah, I have been unjustly deprived of my right from the day the Prophet passed away until

Translation of Sermon 5 Sermon 5: On the Offer of Allegiance after the Prophet’s Death"O People! Navigate through the waves of mischief aboard the ships of salvation, turn away from the path of discord, and cast aside the crowns of pride. Prosperous is he who rises with wings of strength or remains tranquil, granting ease to others. The quest for power is like turbid water or a morsel that chokes the one who swallows it. He who plucks fruit before its time is like one who sows in another’s field.If

Sermon 4: Amir al-Mu'minin’s Far-Sightedness and Steadfast Conviction in Faith"Through us, you found guidance in the darkness and attained lofty heights; through us, you emerged from the gloom of night. Ears that heed not the resounding calls may turn deaf. How can one who ignored the mighty cries of the Qur’an and the Prophet hear my faint voice? A heart that has trembled with the fear of Allah finds true peace.I have always foreseen the consequences of your treachery, seeing through your guise of

Beware! By Allah the son of Abu Quhafah (Abu Bakr)(2) dressed himself with it (the caliphate) and he certainly knew that my position in relation to it was the same as the position of the axis in relation to the hand-mill. The flood water flows down from me and the bird cannot fly upto me. I put a curtain against the caliphate and kept myself detached from it.Then I began to think whether I should assault or endure calmly the blinding darkness of tribulations wherein the grown up are made feeble and

1). The Preserved Record.(2). Good House means 'Mecca' while the bad neighbours mean the 'Unbelievers of Quraysh.'(3). About the Progeny of the Prophet Amir al-mu'minin has said that no person in the world can be brought at par with them, nor can any one be deemed their equal in sublimity, because the world is overladen with their obligations and has been able to secure eternal blessings only through their guidance. They are the corner stone and foundation of religion and the sustenance for its life

Delivered on return from SiffinArabia before proclamation of ProphethoodI praise Allah seeking completion of His Blessing, submitting to His Glory and expecting safety from committing His sins. I invoke His help being in need of His Sufficiency (of protection). He whom He guides does not get astray, He with whom He is hostile gets no protection. He whom He supports does not remain needy. Praise is most weighty of all that is weighed and the most valuable of all that is treasured.I stand witness that

About the Qur'an, Amir al-mu'minin says that it contains description of the permitted and the forbidden acts such as "Allah has allowed sale and purchase but prohibited usury."It clarifies obligatory and optional acts such as "when you have finished the prayer (of fear) remember Allah rising, sitting or lying and when you feel safe (from the enemy) then say the prayers (as usual)."Here prayer is obligatory while other forms of remembering (Allah) are optional.

(1). "The foremost in religion (din) is His knowledge." The literal meaning of din is obedience, and its popular sense is code, whether literal sense is taken or the popular one, in either case, if the mind is devoid of any conception of Divinity, there would be no question of obedience, nor of following any code; because when there is no aim there is no point in advancing towards it; where there is no object in view there is no sense in making efforts to achieve it. Nevertheless, when the nature

Allah chooses His ProphetsFrom his (Adam's) progeny Allah chose prophets and took their pledge for his revelation and for carrying His message as their trust. In course of time many people perverted Allah's trust with them and ignored His position and took compeers along with Him. Satan turned them away from knowing Him and kept them aloof from His worship. Then Allah sent His Messengers and series of His prophets towards them to get them to fulfil the pledges of His creation, to recall to them His

Others in kneeling position and do not stand up. Some of them are in array and do not leave their position. Others are extolling Allah and do not get tired. The sleep of the eye or the slip of wit, or languor of the body or the effect of forgetfulness does not effect them.Among them are those who work as
