"عن أبى الطُّفَيْلِ عامرِ بنِ وَاثلةَ قال: شَهدْتُ عَليَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَخْطُبُ فَقالَ فِى خُطبَتِهِ: سَلُونِي فَوَالله لاَ تَسْألُونِى عَنْ شَيء يَكُونُ إِلَى يَوْم القِيَامَة إلَّا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِهِ سَلُونِى عَنْ كِتابِ الله فَوَالله مَا مِنْ آيَة إِلا أَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَبلَيْلٍ نَزَلَتْ أمْ بِنَهارٍ، أَمْ فِى سَهْلٍ أمْ فِى جَبَل، فَقَامَ إلَيْهِ ابْنُ الكوَّاءِ فَقَالَ يَا أَميرَ المُؤْمِنِينَ: ما الذَّاريات ذَرْوًا؟ فَقالَ: وَيْلَكَ سَلْ تَفقُّهًا وَلاَ تَسألْ تَعَنُّتًا، "والذَّارِيات ذَرْوًا": الرِّياحُ. "فَالحَامِلاَتِ وِقْرًا. السَّحَابُ، "فَالجَارِيات يُسْرًا": السُّفُنُ، "فَالمُقَسِّمَاتِ أَمْرًا": المَلاَئكَةُ، قَالَ: فَما السَّوادُ الذى فِى القَمَر؟ فَقاَلَ أعْمَى يَسْألُ عَنْ عَمْيَاءَ قَالَ الله تَعَالَى: "وجَعَلنَا اللَّيْلَ والنَّهَارَ آيَتَيْنِ فَمَحوْنَا آيَةَ اللَّيلِ وَجَعَلنَا آيَةَ النَّهارِ مُبْصِرَةً" فَمَحْوُ آيَةِ اللَّيلِ السَّوادُ الّذي فِى القَمَرِ، قَالَ: فَما كَانَ ذُو القَرْنَينِ أَنبِيًّا أَمْ مَلِكًا؟ قالَ: لَمْ يَكُنْ وَاحِدًا مِنْهُما، كَانَ عَبْدًا لله أحَبَّ الله وَأَحَبَّهُ الله، وَناصَحَ الله فَنَصَحَهُ الله، بَعَثَه الله إِلَى قَوْمٍ يَدْعُوهُمْ إلىَ الهُدَى فَضَرَبوه عَلَى قَرْنِهِ الأيْمَنِ، ثُمَّ مَكَث مَا شَاءَ الله، ثُمَّ بعثَهُ الله إِلَى قَوْمِهِ يَدْعُوهُمْ إلَى الهُدَى فَضَربُوه عَلَى قَرْنِهِ الأيْسَرِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ قَرْنَانِ كقَرْنَي الثَّوْرِ، قالَ: فَما هَذِه القَوْسُ ؟ قالَ هِىَ عَلاَمَةٌ كَانَتْ بَيْنَ نُوحٍ وَبَيْنَ ربِّه، وَهِى أَمَانٌ مِن الغَرَقِ قالَ: فَما البَيْتُ المَعْمورُ؟ قالَ: بَيْتٌ فَوْقَ سَبعْ سَمواتٍ تَحتَ العَرْشِ يُقَالُ لَهُ: الصُّراحُ يَدْخُلُهُ كُل يَوْمٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلفَ مَلكٍ، ثُمَّ لا يَعُودُونَ إلَيْهِ إِلَى يَوْم القِيَامَةِ قَالَ: فَمَنِ الَّذِينَ بَدَّلوا نِعْمَةَ الله كُفْرًا؟ قَالَ هُمُ الأفْجَرَانِ مِنْ قُريْشٍ قد كُفِيتُموهمْ يَومَ بَدر، قَالَ: فَمَن الَّذِينَ ضَلَّ سَعْيُهُمْ فِى الحيَاةِ الدُّنْيا وَهُمْ يحسبون أنهم يحسنونَ صنعًا؟ قَالَ: قَدْ كَان أهْلُ حَرُوراءَ مِنْهُمْ".

Abu at-Tufayl 'Amir ibn Wathilah said: 'I witnessed Ali ibn Abi Talib delivering a sermon, and in his sermon he said: Ask me, for by Allah you will not ask me about anything that will happen until the Day of Resurrection except that I will inform you of it. Ask me about the Book of Allah, for by Allah there is no verse except that I know whether it was revealed at night or by day, whether on a plain or on a mountain. Ibn al-Kawwa' stood up to him and said: O Commander of the Faithful, what are {adh-Dhariyat dharwan}? He said: Woe to you! Ask in order to understand, and do not ask to trouble. {Adh-Dhariyat dharwan}: the winds. {Fal-hamilat wiqran}: the clouds. {Fal-jariyat yusran}: the ships. {Fal-muqassimat amran}: the angels. He said: What is the blackness that is in the moon? He said: A blind man asks about a blind woman. Allah the Exalted says: {And We made the night and the day two signs, then We effaced the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible}. So the effacement of the sign of the night is the blackness that is in the moon. He said: Was Dhul-Qarnayn a prophet or a king? He said: He was neither of them; he was a servant of Allah who loved Allah and whom Allah loved, who advised Allah and whom Allah advised. Allah sent him to a people to call them to guidance, and they struck him on his right horn. Then he remained as long as Allah willed, then Allah sent him to his people to call them to guidance, and they struck him on his left horn. He did not have two horns like the horns of a bull. He said: What is this bow? He said: It is a sign that was between Nuh and his Lord, and it is a security from drowning. He said: What is al-Bayt al-Ma'mur? He said: A house above the seven heavens, beneath the Throne, called as-Surah, which seventy thousand angels enter every day, and then they do not return to it until the Day of Resurrection. He said: Who are those who exchanged the blessing of Allah for disbelief? He said: They are the two most wicked men of Quraysh, who were dealt with for you on the Day of Badr. He said: Who are those whose effort is lost in the life of this world while they think they are doing good? He said: The people of Harura' were among them.'
