And it was narrated from the Master Muhammad, majestic is His mention, that he said during the Farewell Pilgrimage: "Your Lord has attended during this season of yours upon an ash-colored camel, in a woolen cloak without sleeves." 'Ammar said: "So there was no one in the season and the pilgrimage upon an ash-colored camel other than Ali."

And within the well-known sayings and the transmitted reports, the explanation of that has become prolonged and the description of it has grown great.

And our master, the Prince of the Believers, majestic is His mention, was asked about speech and its merit, so He said: "What is brief and indicative, and does not cause boredom; and conciseness in speech is by the beauty of the meaning, the proximity of the comparison, and the merit of a word that informs of much speech, for there is no good in much speech that informs of a single word."

And the victory is for Allah, the Essence, and for His allies over His enemies; indeed, He is Sublime, Great.
