أَلَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اسْمَعُوا عَنِّي حَدِيثِي ثُمَّ اعْقِلُوهُ عَنِّي، أَلَا إِنِّي‏ أُوتِيتُ عِلْماً كَثِيراً، فَلَوْ حَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْ فَضَائِلِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ [لَقَالَتْ‏] طَائِفَةٌ مِنْكُمْ: هُوَ مَجْنُونٌ، [وَ قَالَتْ‏] طَائِفَةٌ أُخْرَى: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِقَاتِلِ سَلْمَانَ. (Salman said): ‘Indeed, O you people! Listen my -ra Hadeeth from me -ra .

Indeed, I -ra have been given a lot of knowledge, and if I -ra were to narrate to you with all what I -ra know of the merits of Amir Al-Momineen -asws , a group from you would say, ‘He -ra is insane!’ And another group would say, ‘O Allah -azwj , Forgive the killer of Salman -ra !’(an extract).
