Re: Imam Ali (as) Saying: Taken from Peak of Eloquence
Healty mind!!!
The authenticity of Nehjul Balagha is evident from the quote attributed to Hazrat Ali about ears in and out. The saying attributed to him is definitely wrong and you yourself accepted that some sharks and snakes do give live birth. how can you now brush it aside that the source was wikipedia which is not authentic.
You also failed to answer the question about the writer of this book and when it was written.
Also eloquence is no criteria to verify who else other than him could have said this. i am not sure it is a test bench which can ascertain the saying of Hazrat Ali that Umar and Abu Bakar took my right. I see no eloquence in it but work of some mean and bigoted mind working centuries after Hazrat Ali left this world.
