Pearl of Wisdom

'As regards to the oppression against us in this matter -in spite of being the foremost in lineage and bearing the strongest relationship to the Messenger of Allah (SAWA) it [caliphate] was tempting. The hearts of some people coveted it [the leadership] whereas the hearts of others did not care for it. And the Arbiter is Allah.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]

Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 162
