SERMON 69
Spoken on the morning of the day when Amir
al-mu'minin was fatally struck with sword.
I was sitting when sleep overtook me. I saw the
Prophet of Allah appear before me, and I said: "O' Prophet of Allah ! what
crookedness and enmity I had to face from the people. " The prophet of Allah said:
"Invoke (Allah) evil upon them," but I said, "Allah may change them for me
with better ones and change me for them with a worse one.
as-Sayyid ar-Radi says: "al-awad" means
crookedness and "al-ladad" means enmity, and this is the most eloquent
expression.
