He had gained the rhetoric of the pre-Islamic era as well as the charm of prophetic eloquence – which made some to describe his speech as (under the Crator’s speech and above that of the created). But it is not a surprise as Ali had been prepared by all means that fit him to this status among people of eloquence. He grew up in an environment where hurrey nature becomes sound and pure.

He also lived with the wisest man Mohammed bin Abdullah, being addressed from the Prophet his message in its all ardour and strength. Add to that his massive predispositions and great talents; and so reasons of excellence get together firm instinct and environment likewise. As for intelligence, exceeding intelligence, one finds, in every expression of Nahj Ab-Balagha, a great work, it is a living intelligence, able, broad, doesn’t miss fathomless Depths.

When he works on a topic he encompasses it in every dimension, so that no side escapes, no much or little is passed over; he dives into its depth, and turns around it highly, scours it heavily, and he realizes the hidden causes and what is the farthest mystery; as he also recognizes the truest results caused by these reasons; what is the most in closeness and the most remote in farness.

On of the conditions of rare Allawiyan intelligence is this logical sequence that one can see in Nahj Al-Balaghah wherever he heads for. This cohesion between the idea and the other one is to the extrent that every one of them is the natural result of the precedent and the cause to the follower to its next. In these ideas one does not find what can be dispensed with in the topic he treats. Rather one can not find any idea which the research can stand erect without it.

He, owing to his huge extent, does not use a word unless that word entails one to contemplate and scru-tinize, and no phrase unless it opens, before the sights, horizons beyond horizons. What vast roads of contemplation and sight his speech reveals to you: “People are enemies of what they do not know”, or his saying: “The worth of every one is in the things he does well”, or “Impiety is a weak fortress.” What a marvellous summerized one is that: “One who keeps light will overtake!

“What grand meaning in the four phrases, and what they contain of words classified highly, or rather say revealed directly.
