SERMON 138

On the occasion of the
Consultative Committee

(after the death of Umar ibn
al-Khattab)

No one preceded me in
inviting people to truthfulness, in giving consideration to
kinship and practising generosity. So, hear my word and preserve
what I say. Maybe you will see soon after today that over this
matter swords will be drawn and pledges will be broken, so much so
that some of you will become leaders of the people of misguidance
and followers of people of ignorance.
