Imam Ali (AS) said, mentioning the virtue of the honourable Prophet (SAWA), ‘He [Allah] sent him while the people were straying in perplexity, and engaged in corruption… He (SAWA) advised extensively and kept on the [right] path, and called for wisdom and gentle exhortation.
الإمامُ عَليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في ذِكرِ فَضيلَةِ الرَّسولِ الكَريمِ ـ: بَعَثَهُ وَالنّاسُ ضُلاّلٌ في حَيرَةٍ، وَحاطِبونَ في فِتنَةٍ ... فَبالَغَ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) في النَّصيحَةِ، وَمَضى عَلى الطَّريقَةِ، وَدَعا إلى الحِكمَةِ وَالمَوعِظَةِ الحَسَنَةِ.
