Then indeed he said: "If I willed, I would have burdened from the exegesis of Al-Fatihah seventy camels."
Clarification (Tawdih): From the saying of our Master, the Commander of the Faithful (exalted is his might) in this exoteric sermon, "I am Allah," by this word it becomes clear to us that he is Allah, because no one in existence was able to say "I" and repeat it except Allah. And from his saying in this sermon, "I am the defeater of the factions," it is deduced that he is Allah, by the evidence of the Almighty's saying in the Quran: ["And Allah repelled those who disbelieved in their rage, not having obtained any good. And sufficient was Allah for the believers in battle. And ever is Allah Powerful and Exalted in Might."] 1 And the saying of the Master Messenger (exalted is his might), "Allah sufficed the believers in battle through Ali."
And from his saying, "I am the Face of Allah," it becomes clear to us that he is the Creator in essence, by the evidence of the Almighty's saying: ["And to Allah belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn, there is the Face of Allah. Indeed, Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing."] 2
