A collection of traditional sayings of Imam Ali. This is a humble translation for a book that can be considered modern, but the information it contains are of antiquity. This is the book of "2500 adages for imam Ali (puh)." The book might not contain exactly that number of adages but it might be some number around that. The book categorizes the adages and sayings in different chapters, each contain a specific branch of life. At the end of the book, there is the "poetic adages" which I have translated without keeping the rhyme, but meaning, as much as possible. The main translations are taken by meanings and not by translating word for word method, for there are different obstacles that are not avoidable in this way. Imam Ali (puh) and Eloquence Adages of imam Ali (puh) in noble manners Adages of imam Ali (puh) in social relations Adages of imam Ali (puh) in manners of speech and silence His adages (puh) about wisdom and wise men, and the mind and the mindful men Adages of imam Ali (puh) about the human nature Adages of imam Ali (puh) about viceroys and rulers Adages of imam Ali (puh) in the bad habits and avoiding them Adages of imam Ali (puh) in satirizing the life Adages of imam Ali (puh) in calling for the after-life His adages (puh) about richness, poverty and money Poetic Adages Most important sources of the book.
