What about your untold [words]?

So eloquent and meaningful is reading the method and nature of the human Savior, which was mentioned in Mawlā1; ʾAmīr al Mu’menīn2 (pbuh)’s Nahj al Balāgha3!

What a pleasure is to know about her majesty Zahra (pbuh)’s Yūsuf (pbuh) 4, by reading the words of his enduring father; Imam ‘Ali (pbuh).

How admirable and worthy is realizing that, his [Imam Mahdī (mgehr)’s] method of governing is superior to the greatest rulers of history!

The same is to experience Mahdavī’s right and justice, which is based on the book of manifestation of Alawī5’s courtesy and justice. [It refers to Nahj al balāgha]

Those are the words of ʾAmīr al Mu’menīn (pbuh) who stated:

[Once] in the last hours of the Prophet (pbuh&h)’s blessed life, he asked for me.

[Then] he taught me and the knowledge and Divine mysteries;

each one lead me to other thousand mysterious.

Yes, we wish Sayyid al-Rāḍī 7(gbh) had recorded in [the translation of] Nahj al balāgha, all of the Imam (pbuh)’s forecasting.

1-     Mawlā means guardian and helper.

2-     It is an Arabic title that is usually translated “Commander of the Faithful” or “Leader of the Faithful”. This title is exclusive to Imam ‘Ali (pbuh).

3&6- The name of this book means “the Peak of Eloquence”. It is a collection of sayings and writings of Imam       ‘Ali (pbuh) which have been compiled by al-Sayyid al-Rāḍī in late 4th/10th century (finished in 400/1009-1010). The criterion for selecting the sayings has been the eloquence of speech. The eloquence in this compilation is at such a high level that even though al-Sayyid al- Rāḍī was a great poet and distinguished man of literature and had great works, regarded this compilation an honor for himself.

4       -Between her majesty Zahra (pbuh)’s Yūsuf (pbuh) [Imam Mahdī (mgehr)] and prophet Yūsuf (pbuh), there are many similarities in: infallibility, honesty, power, place, patience, divine reverence and management. Also the similarities are in ups and downs of life such as absenteeism, loneliness, routine, unknown among, the arrest of the disadvantaged and the healing of the sick and the blind, the creation of a state full of mercy, although there is a distinction between justice and the promotion of justice and the spread of mercy.

5-    It refers to Imam ‘Ali (pbuh)’s followers.
