Re: My eyes are aching.... my legs are shaking.....

Wohee Marhabi.......Wohi Antaree .....

On the day of Khyber...prophet(pbuh) himself armed Ali...and specially prayed for his success...

near the fort of Khyber..."Marhab"...the greatest warrior of jews...came and said... My name is Antar. I am armed to the teeth. My home is Khyber. I am a **lion **whom none can face. "

Ali accepted the challenge with the battle song: "I am Ali, the** lion of God*. I fight in the name of God. Be prepared for* your doom**. He awaits you."

The day, Ali appeared to be endowed with unusual extraordinary power. He killed Marhab in no time. Thereafter another Jewish warrior Rabih b Abu Aqiq stepped forward to challenge Ali. Rabih charged at Ali, but he missed the mark. Thereafter Ali charged at his adversary with the speed of lightning and severed his head with the stroke of his sword.

Thereafter another Jew warrior stepped forward. He sang as he rushed at Ali: "I am Yasir I am a ferocious lion. None can escape my claws. In reply, Ali said:
"O Infidel, your death calls you. I invoke the aid of God and strike the heads of those who come to oppose me " Yasir aimed a blow at Ali, but Ali warded off the blow with great dexterity. Then Ali attacked and Yasir fell dead. The death of** three successive Jew warriors** unnerved the Jews and they ran back to shut themselves in the fort. Before the Jews could shut the gate of the fort, Ali struck at the gate and uprooted it

Kahan Sai Seekhi Aai Iqbal Tuu nai yai Derweshi
Kai Charcha Badshaho mai hai teri Bai-Niazi ka ......

It is related that when on the way to Basra, Ali and his troops were camping at Rabdha, Ibn Abbas came to see him. At that time Ali was mending his shoe. Ali asked Ibn Abbas as to what would be the value of the shoe. Ibn Abbas said that the old shoe had hardly any value and its value would at the most not exceed a quarter of a dirham. Ali thereupon said, "By God, this shoe is more valuable to me than the caliphate. I have no ambition to rule."

Peak of Eloquence

Once Abul Hassan was eating a piece of dry roti of jau...being hard...its difficult for him to cut it with teeth... a man watching this said to Ali....

Janab-e-Ameer...there was time when you smashed the Door of Khyber alone which latter was pulled by 17 persons...and now...you are not able to tear a piece of Jau....

Ali **smiled and said....
The day of Khyber was for the **need of Imann...and today is** need of Nafs....**

Re: My eyes are aching.... my legs are shaking.....

Flattery...
Once a person flattered Ali. Ali said: "Do not flatter me. I am not what you say, but I am more than what you think of me in your heart".

Praise...
One day Ali delivered a sermon, which was most impressive and eloquent. Some one praised him for his sermon. He said: "Do not praise me. That would mislead me and beguile me into vainglory. Remember that *all praise is for God alone." *

Arrogance...
One day Ali was riding a horse. Some people followed him and began to walk in his train. He asked them why they were following him. They said that they felt elated to walk in his retinue. He said: "Go back to your business. By walking behind me you will breed feelings of inferiority in yourselves, and infect me *with arrogance." *

Hatred of Kufi...
One night Ali saw the Holy Prophet in a dream. He complained to the Holy Prophet that he had received much trouble from his people. The Holy Prophet said that he might invoke the curse of God on them. When it was day, be lifted his hands after the Morning Prayer and said: "*O God. Give me a better people, and give these people a worse ruler then me". *

Re: My eyes are aching.... my legs are shaking.....

Just cast your self under Black magic .....

The world
He likened the world to a serpent which was outwardly very soft skinned but poisonous from within....

Falsehood
Ali held that like toe feathers of a peacock, falsehood might look very attractive, but was as ugly as the feet of the peacock. Falsehood has no legs to stand upon.

The unbelievers
Ali compared the unbelievers to a bat which can see when it is dark, but which is blind and cannot see anything when it is daylight.

The people who did not respond to his call
When Ali exhorted the people of Iraq to respond to his call for war against Muawiyah, they did not respond to his call. He said, "You are like a pregnant woman who undergoes the ordeal of childbirth, but gives birth to a dead child."

The tree and the fruit
When after the death of the Holy Prophet, the Quraish based their claim to the caliphate on the ground that they belonged to the same tree as the Holy Prophet, Ali said, "It is strange that they look to the tree, but neglect its fruit".

The people of Basra
When the people of Basra who had originally taken the oath of allegiance to him, but later chose to fight against him, Ali said that these people were near the water but far from the sky.

People of the age of ignorance
Referring to the people of the age of ignorance in the pre-Islamic era, Ali said that they were like an egg which is broken in the nest.

The people of Kufa
Addressing the people of Kufa, Ali said: "When I invite you to fight, your eyes begin to move in your sockets as if you are in the agony of death. You are like the camels whose herdsmen have disappeared, and when these animals are collected on one side, they scatter on the other side".

Re: My eyes are aching.... my legs are shaking.....

Another Spell like from the Bengal Region....

Mughira b Shu'aba
*Mughira was regarded by the Quraish as a very wise man. When Mughira favored Muawiyah, Ali said, "Mughira has profited from Islam only to the extent seeking worldly end. He is oblivious of the Hereafter". *

The people who run after the world
*About the people who run after the world, Ali said: "Those people who run after the world are like beasts who fall at one another, with the strong oppressing the week. *

***The people who are not deceived by the world*
About the people who are not deceived by the world Ali said, "Those who have understood the deceptive character of the world do not feel distressed on death. They are like the people who migrate from a famine-struck land to a land of plenty."

Ali's complaint against the Umayyads
During the caliphate of Othman, Ali had a complaint that the Umayyads were withholding from him what was due to him. He said, "The Umayyads are withholding what is due to me as the camel man, when milking the she camel, withholds the milk from the young one of the camel."

Falsehood of Muawiyah
Referring to the falsehood of Muawiyah, Ali said, that falsehood had appeared in his cave as the horns on the head of a young goat.

Shedding of Sins through prayer
In a sermon Ali said that through prayer the sins of a man are shed as a tree sheds its leaves

Cleanliness and prayers
In another sermon, Ali said: "Prayer is like a hot spring of water which flows at your door, and provides you the wherewithal for cleanliness."

Crumbs after the meals
In a sermon, Ali said that the world had run its cause, and nothing had been left of it except the crumbs after the meals.

Heart of the people
In an address, Ali compared the people who did not respond to his call (Iraqi and Kufi) to a camel who ran away from the herd shrieking with the pain of a stomachache

Ignorant persons
In a sermon Ali prayed for the heart of the people (Iraqi)to melt at the mention of the Word of God as salt dissolves in the water.**
