@TowardInfiniti@imamfulan From Abu Hamzah Al-Thumali he said: “’Amir al-Mu’minin once saw a young man with his loincloths hanging low, and said to him, ‘Son, you must raise your loincloth; it will last longer and help clean your heart (from arrogance).”’
@TowardInfiniti@imamfulan Abu Ja'far, has stated: The Messenger of Allah once advised a man from Banu Tamim and said to him, you must never allow the loincloth and shirt to hang down to drag; it is the sign of arrogance and Allah does not love arrogance.
Salafis are the biggest disgrace to ever happen to Islam since Genghis Khan.
The Islamic civ seriously needs Sunni Persianate Islam back. An urban, bourgeoisie, educated, aesthetic, cultured and sophisticated religiosity capable of saving the masses from these Salafist monkeys.
@Ali_Mustafa_68 @SayyedHusayn Even if this is true, he had to say that in Taqiyyah, of course, otherwise they’d chop his head. Also he isn’t an Imam so he can sin. Simple as that.

Employing the isnād-cum-matn analysis, my research dates the Scroll back to ʿAlī himself. Thus, ʿAlī may have compiled the earliest known legal text in Islamic history, preserving within it the Prophet's original legal teachings. Crucially, the Constitution of Medina seems to have been preserved in this Scroll, as ʿAlī used its stipulations to resolve disputes during the Battle of the Camel. Therefore, this scroll holds great significance for the study of early Islamic history and the formation of Shiʿi identity, as it demonstrates that, from an early period, Shiʿis believed ʿAlī possessed special knowledge inherited directly from the Prophet.
I will now send this draft to colleagues for review and feedback, and thus my findings at this stage are provisional. I plan to share the full paper following the conference in July 2025. Please do let me know about your thoughts!
