Pearl of Wisdom
If I was to strike the nose of a believer with my sword to hate me he would never hate me, and if I was to pour down the whole world onto a hypocrite to love me he would never love me, and this is because of what has been destined, as this was passed on through the tongue of the unschooled Prophet (SAWA), saying, Ali, a believer can never hate you and a hypocrite can never love you.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Nahj al-Baldgha, Saying 45

Sermon 14 This also is in condemnation of the people of Basrah
Your earth is close to the sea and away from the sky. Your wits have become light and your minds are full of folly. You are the aim of the archer, a morsel for the eater and an easy prey for the hunter.
