Mu士膩wiyah3 admitted to [the greatness of] the imam
We know well, Mu士膩wiyah was one of the most ardent enemies of his majesty, imam Ali (pbuh) .
Although he always tried to introduce the imam as an inappropriate face,
but sometimes he admitted [the truth]too.
Once a man taunted the imam Mu士膩wiyah:
鈥淚 newly met a real curmudgeon!鈥 Mu士膩wiyah answered:
鈥淒amn on you! How do you say imam Ali( pbuh) is curmudgeon鈥!
While he is a type that, if he has 2 houses; one in Gold and the other in straw,
he will donate his Gold one earlier than the straw one!鈥
Oh lord! Help us to get resurrected on the day of the account4,
while we love imam Ali(pbuh) and his offsprings5
