Pearl of Wisdom
The right of the one who seeks your counsel is that you point him in the right direction if you know that he is inclined towards a certain opinion, and if you do not know [which way to point out], then you must guide Him to someone who does.'
Imam Ali ibn Hussain Zayn al-'Abidin [as] al-Khisal, p. 570, no. 1

Sermon 227 About allegiance to Amir al-mu'minin for the Caliphate.
You drew out my hand towards you for allegiance but I held it back and you stretched it but I contracted it. Then you crowed over me as the thirsty camels crowd on the watering cisterns on their being taken there, so much so that shoes were torn, shoulder-cloths fell away and the weak got trampled, and the happiness of people on their allegiance to me was so manifested that small children felt joyful, the old staggered (up to me) for it, the sick too reached for it helter skelter and young girls ran for it without veils.
