Sermon 235 of 240 · 88 words

I began following the path….

ومن كلام له (عليه السلام)

In this sermon Amir al-Mu’minin has related his own condition after the Prophet's migration till his meeting with him.1 I began following the path adopted by the Prophet and treading on the lines of his remembrance till I reached al-’Arj. As-Sayyid ar-Radisays: Amir al-Mu’minin's words"faata'u dhikrahu"constitute the highest forms of brevity and eloquence. He means to say that he was being given news about the Prophet from the commencement of his setting out till he reached this place, and he has expressed this sense in this wonderful expression.
