SERMON 70
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.
